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" - Wine Direct Tasting Team
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.
If you like full bodied Italian style reds particularly Amarone then this is a really good everyday drinking alternative. Especially suited for winter meals or perhaps bbq lamb in summer. I’ve just finished ordering some more.
A great range to select from but scored 4 for a 2 day delivery in AKL & challenges in processing my order online.
