Château Fonfroide, Bordeaux 2021
GOLD MEDAL: Gilbert & Gaillard
93 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
"From vines situated in the heart of the Entre-Deux-Mers region, this is just what we want from everyday Bordeaux. Tons of blackcurrant fruit with some tannins to give it structure and a lovely fresh finish. Everyday Claret at its best"

Perched on a cliff overlooking Bordeaux’s meandering Durezes River stands Chateau Fonfroide. A cold spring on the property gives the chateau its name and helps irrigate the 185-acre vineyard. History is rich here, firmly rooted in the limestone and clay soil, tilled and cared for by the Dutheillet de Lamothe family for over 300 years! Merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and malbec join together in a compelling bottle of everyday Bordeaux.
