Château Fonroque 2020
The first biodynamic château to be part of St Émilion Grand Cru, Fonroque is always one of the best value picks from Bordeaux En Primeur. The estate was the original home of the Moueix family, who own Trotanoy & Lafleur-Petrus in Pomerol, as well as Dominus in Napa, though they sold the château to the Guillard family in 2017 (Alain Moueix has stayed on as an active consultant). Stylistically the wine is all about elegance and finesse, and the 2020 is arguably their finest vintage to date.
Monthélie Premier Cru, Clos des Champs Fulliot, Domaine Éric Boigelot 2018
We're always keeping our eyes peeled for top value producers in Burgundy, and certainly Éric Boigelot is one of the most exciting we've found to date. The domaine is next door to Raphael Coche Dury - to whom Éric is selling grapes, including all his Narvaux (sadly!). Coche no longer writes domaine on the label because of the need to source fruit externally – an amount of which comes from Éric. " If it's good enough for Coche, it's good enough for you " should be the strapline here... Éric's 2018 Monthélie Clos des Champs Fulliot offers vibrant red fruit flavours layered with earthy undertones and well-integrated tannins. With its balanced acidity and long finish, it pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes such as roasted duck, coq au vin, pork tenderloin, mushroom risotto, and soft-ripened cheeses. It also complements dishes with earthy flavours and herbs like thyme, rosemary, and sage.
