Château Fontenil 2010 - Rolland Collection

Château Fontenil 2010 Fronsac France

90% Merlot - 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

25th Vintage of Fontenil, the smallest yield. Grandiose and minute!

A favourite vintage, as was 2009, with a bouquet of red fruit, a great deal of freshness and notes of coffee.

Nice and compact with great acidity, making for a refreshing, classy wine.

A great Fontenil vintage which will remain so for many years to come.

Michel Rolland.

This is rich and round with a juicy, savory palate of crushed berries. Minerals too. Full body, with velvety tannins and a delicious finish.

The 2010 Fontenil displays loads of crushed rock and floral notes intermixed with raspberries, red currants and some darker fruits such as blueberries. It is medium to full-bodied, with relatively soft tannins but good acidity, ripeness and focus.

Bright, full red-ruby. Sexy nose combines raspberry, flowers, menthol and crushed rock accented by licorice and mint. Juicy, spicy and firm, with sound acidity enlivening the flavors of blueberry and licorice. Not at all overdone; in fact, a bit youthfully disjointed today owing to its acidity. Finishes fresh and persistent, with serious, dusty tannins spreading out to coat the incisors.

A great example of Bordeaux value wines at its best. Lots of plush, plum, sweet, ripe, black raspberries, plum, espresso bean, earth and cocoa notes, round tannins and a sweet, chocolately black cherry finish that is already fun to drink.
