Fronsac

Highly Recommended

Ch Fontenil 92 Michel Rolland’s property and one of his best yet. Spice and dark fruit notes and a sumptuous texture. Tannins are plentiful but fine. Long, fresh finish. 2021-2030 Ch Moulin-Haut-Laroque 91 Complex aromas of ripe Cabernet, Malbec and Merlot. Lift, tension and supple fruit. Tannins finely honed. Builds to a long finish. Fine ageing potential. 2022-2030 Ch La Vieille Cure 90 Rich, round and full flavoured with spice and dark fruit notes. A lovely mid-palate; tannins well rounded. Seductive wine that will be accessible early. 2019-2028 Ch Les Trois Croix 90 Lovely texture of sweet, ripe tannins and bright, fragrant mid-palate fruit. Clean and firm on the finish. 2021-2028
