Château Fonchereau - Le Grand 2010

Bordeaux Supérieur|Red wine

3.2/5 (6 customers)

Note: Hachette Guide 3*** (Exceptional Wine)
“A 2010 vintage of great expression. Fresh fruit intertwined with floral and spicy nuances creates a complex and intense bouquet, with the oak remaining subtle—a sign of perfectly controlled aging. On the palate, the attack is clean and lively. It offers a perfect balance between fresh fruit and restrained oak, enlivened by peppery notes and supported by a solid, very elegant structure. The label doesn’t lie—this wine has all the makings of a Grand Cru.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2013)
