Other Reviews...
The Château Fonroque 2014 blossoms from the glass with ebullient red berry fruit mixed with rose petal and violets aromas. This palate is crisp and focused with a keen line of acidity that neatly counterbalanced the silky textured, lightly spiced fruit. This is already showing fine cohesion and poise-an excellent wine courtesy of Alain Moueix and one of my picks from the Right Bank this year. Drink 2019 - 2032.
91-93 points
Neal Martin - The Wine Advocate # 218 (Apr 2015)
A pure, racy version, with a lovely floral edge to the blood orange, cherry and red currant fruit flowing atop the finely beaded acidity. Offers a long, elegant finish. Very charming.
88-91 points
J.M. - Wine Spectator
Biodynamically run. Terroir based wine. Lively, minerally, dark and red fruit nose. Acidity marked (low pH). Fresh but slightly chewy finish.
