What is in this wine, and where it grows
The wine
Château Fonroque 2020 Wine (75cl) is recorded as a 2020 red wine made from Cabernet Franc and Merlot in Bordeaux.
Typical grape profile: Cabernet Franc — Red fruit with a signature herbaceous, peppery edge; Merlot — Plum, black cherry, chocolate; softer and rounder than Cabernet Sauvignon. The finished bottle can differ with vintage and winemaking.
The vineyard evidence
No verified vineyard or named parcel is linked yet. BottlePicker therefore does not assign a soil, elevation or site temperature to this bottle from its regional name alone.
Soil structure and vine density
No site-specific soil or planting-density record is available for this bottle.
Growing-temperature context
For general cultivar-level heat guidance, see the Cabernet Franc and Merlot growing profiles. BottlePicker does not apply a generic range to this bottle without a verified vineyard link.
Official US label evidence
Historical Texas label approval
2 official label approvals have the same normalised product name as this BottlePicker record. These approvals pre-date September 2021 and help check identity, stated ABV and the responsible trade name; they do not prove that the current bottle has the same formula, remains registered or is available in Texas.

Matched by exact normalised product name; no label artwork is copied. Source: Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission approved labels (opens in a new tab) via the Texas Open Data Portal. The portal does not specify a reuse licence for third-party label artwork, so BottlePicker links to the official PDF and publishes attributed factual extraction only. No state endorsement is implied.
Source-supplied bottle description
Retained as supporting identification copy; the structured facts and evidence links above are kept separate.
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.
Evidence boundary
This page combines the recorded bottle identity with linked source records. An exact region-name match supplies regional context but does not prove that this bottle carries the protected designation. A vineyard is only shown as bottle-level evidence when a wine-to-vineyard link exists. BottlePicker does not infer a vineyard, soil or site climate from a retailer title.
