CHÂTEAU FONBADET 2024 – Pauillac

The nose is racy, frank, it offers a lovely racy, frank and finely mellow grain, a certain complexity and a 3D side. It reveals notes of fleshy blackberry, fleshy strawberry and small notes of bright cassis, associated with touches of almost bigarreau cherry, violet, a subtle hint of camphor, sweet tobacco, as well as a subtle hint of Sichuan pepper. The palate is fruity, mineral, it offers a mineral frame, a lovely coating side and a relative power of control/accuracy. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy cassis, violet and small notes of crushed raspberry, combined with touches of small brilliant red fruits, as well as fine hints of bergamot, infusion and tonka bean. Good length. The tannins are sapid and mellow. Beautiful harmony and freshness. A hint of almost roast in the background and a subtle floral hint which drive. A great success.
