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"
- 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.

ABV: 13%

Another winner from Domaine de la Baume

We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.

love it

Bubblicious

Delicious white wines!

I haven’t tried every bottle in this selection yet, however, so far they are all very tasty. I’m a Chardonnay lover, always on the look out for a dryish not sweet wine and these are just right for me. An excellent mixed case and we’ll priced.

Rich and fruity

This was a very nice surprise in Wine Direct’s very welcome Plenty Under $20 category. Beautifully fruity, rich and smooth. Often the Plenty Under $20 range is a little light for the depth I like but I will definitely be reordering this one.

A great summer wine… elegant and a fine balance of lighter fruit and delicate acidity with a nice dry finish. Very drinkable with or without food. A nice change from our usual unoaked French Chardonnay
