Château Fonroque, (Magnum) 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 and 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.
Craggy Range Le Sol Syrah Gimblett 2019
Le sol translated from French means the soil, appropriate when one considers the significant impact the stony soils of our Gimblett Gravels Vineyard have on our wine called "Le Sol". They keep the growth and crop of these old clone Syrah vines in check and provide warmth in the autumn, all critical factors in developing the enormous character and presence this wine has. Traditionally made, heady aromas, luscious yet classical texture. "Le Sol" is all at once luscious, elegant and exuberant and in a very short time it has shown the breeding of Syrah in the Gimblett Gravels. Densely coloured with vibrant purple hues. Intense aromas of prune, blackberry and liquorice abound, boosted by floral elements of thyme, lavender and white pepper. The palate is incredibly rich, with fine, silky tannins that provide a lush, sensuous texture. The finish is refined and polished, deep and smooth. Food Match: Game meats Cellaring: 15 years from vintage
