From the limestone plateau above Saint-Émilion, Château Fonroque is a beacon of organic and biodynamic viticulture with a philosophy of restraint. The 2020 blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc comes from 35-year-old vines and is fermented with native yeasts in concrete before aging in oak (30% new) to preserve vintage freshness. The result is dark and expansive, with gravel, incense, tobacco, and dried herbs layering over black cherry and plum. A serious, nuanced expression of Right Bank elegance.
