The third wine from the house of Fonroque is a pure Merlot and usually available a little earlier than the Château Fonroque wines. The year 2018 gave the winegrowers in Bordeaux little time to catch their breath due to the sometimes exceptional climatic conditions. Luckily, from mid-July to the end of September, the weather favored the ripening of the grapes and ensured that all the vines were in perfect health. Blackberries and ripe plums with some elderberry on the nose. Already surprisingly accessible on the palate with mature, soft tannins. Greetings from the hot summer of 2018. Concentrated and opulent, a fine Grand Cru for a medium shelf life.
