The 2023 vintage in Bordeaux is known for its early drinkability, elegance, and silky tannins. In this context, the 2023 Château Fonroque excels. Alain Moueix's biodynamic estate sits on a pure limestone plateau and operates with extremely low yields, which promotes freshness and precision. The nose offers delicate black cherry with a hint of cassis, elegant and understated. On the palate, sour cherry complements the fruit, supported by chalky grip, polished tannins, and a subtle touch of salinity on the finish. A delicate violet note lends additional finesse to the medium-bodied wine. Not a loud Saint-Émilion, but an approachable, balanced, and highly enjoyable wine with a succulent flow.
