Viniou Reviews

The 2018 Château Fonroque is a remarkable wine hailing from the prestigious Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation within the Bordeaux region. This red wine is a blend, characteristic of the Right Bank Bordeaux wines, typically dominated by Merlot, with Cabernet Franc often included to add structure and complexity. The terroir of Fonroque consists predominantly of limestone and clay soils, which contribute to the wine's depth and minerality. Crafted under biodynamic practices, the wine reflects a commitment to sustainable viticulture, allowing the natural expression of the grape and vineyard to shine through. The 2018 vintage is celebrated for its ripe fruit character and well-integrated tannins, resulting from a warm growing season.

Bordeaux, and specifically the Saint-Émilion area, is renowned for its unique climate and history. The maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, provides mild winters and warm summers, ideal for grape growing. Saint-Émilion has a rich viticultural history, known for its medieval heritage and an environment that has produced world-class wines for centuries.

To fully enjoy the 2018 Château Fonroque, consider pairing it with rich and flavourful dishes. Traditional French fare such as duck confit, beef bourguignon, or lamb shanks would complement the wine's robust profile. The earthy and savoury notes in the wine also pair beautifully with mushroom-based dishes or a truffle risotto. For a regional touch, try it with a hearty cassoulet, a dish native to the South-West of France.

For optimal tasting experience, serve this Saint-Émilion Grand Cru at a temperature of 16-18°C. Decanting it for about an hour prior to serving will allow the wine to open up, revealing its complex aromas and flavours to the fullest. Enjoy the wine's complex bouquet and savour the harmonious blend of ripe fruit and subtle spice notes on the palate.
