A deep and mineral nose with subtle botanicals and white-pepper accents over the ripe but vibrant berry fruit. Juicy and medium- to full-bodied on the palate, this has chalky tannins and a long and crunchy finish. Impressive freshness and texture from this hot and dry vintage. A big step up from the past. From organically grown grapes. Drink from 2026.

Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Juicy black cherries, blackberries, roasted herbs, graphite, and loamy earth notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Fonroque, a rich, medium to full-bodied, concentrated 2022 from this team. A blend of 86% Merlot and 14% Cabernet Franc, it has the plush, sexy style of the vintage and will keep for 15 years or more in cold cellars. It might be the finest wine I've tasted from this château.

Wine Advocate

The 2022 Fonroque is a dense, structured wine that will require some patience (largely due to the musculature imparted by old, virused vines growing on the limestone plateau), but it shows terrific potential. Offering up notes of mulberries, licorice and violets, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with a concentrated core of fruit underpinned by a muscular chassis of tannin. It's built for the cellar.

This is reserved in feel, but with good juicy energy underneath the plush blackberry and boysenberry compote flavors. Iris, ink and sweet tobacco notes chime through, with a flicker of black tea. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2026 through 2038.

The 2022 Fonroque is plush, sensual and quite deep. Silky tannins enshroud a core of dark cherry/plum fruit, new leather, spice, menthol and espresso. This juicy, open-knit Saint-Émilion from Alan Mouiex is a winner.
