"Sweetly fruited with savoury nuances, the wine shows dark plum, spiced cherry, thyme, game and nutmeg aromas on the nose. The palate displays a medium-full body together with fine texture and grainy tannins, making it sturdy and firm. Beautifully structured with a long, attractively dry finish. At its best: now to 2031" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

Château Fonfroide 2021 is brillant garnet in colour with sustained, shiny with pinkish tones. Its spicy nose reveals subtle red fruit aromas. Supple on the palate, with red fruit notes.

Château Fonfroide is located on the top of a hillside that dominates the left bank of the Durèzes brook, close to a fresh water spring. The architecture of the building is quite an exception in the region with its wide inner courtyard overlooking two beautiful fountains. The cellars were built in 1777 and faces the courtyard. Château Fonfroide has belonged to the same family since 1676. 300 years later, in 1976, Bernard Dutheillet de Lamothe took the lead of the family estate and started to invest in order to modernize the equipments. His son Hughes joined him in 1988 and has extended the vineyards from 20 hectares in 1991 to 75 hectares nowadays. The property produces three types of wines which are Bordeaux red, Bordeaux white and Bordeaux rosé.

Food Pairing: This wine set off your magrets, red meats and chocolate desserts to sublime advantage.
