Château Fontenil 2024 – Fronsac

The nose is elegant, aromatic and floral, it offers a certain aromatic intensity, yet melodious and airy. It also presents a fine peppery side. It reveals notes of boysenberry, small wild fruits and small notes of fresh/juicy cherry, associated with touches of lilac, peony, as well as hints of red/black pepper and a discreet hint of fruit flirting with roast-elegant and licorice. The palate is beautifully juicy, fruity, mineral and offers a fresh frame, precision, tension and roundness. It also presents a lovely minerality and freshness, a racy side, a lovely finesse in its intensity and depth, a certain aromatic concentration and an infusion side. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, violet, and small notes of juicy/pulpy black plum, fleshy/brilliant cherry, combined with touches of lilac, peony, as well as delicate hints of racy minerality and a subtle toasty hint. The tannins are precise and mellow. Good length.
