The flagship of the estate, this wine is simply the expression of the best terroir that Fontesteau can offer.
No vintage is ever the same as another. The magic of blending confers a unique style to each: the Cabernet Sauvignon is always the dominant variety in the Château Fontesteau blend, a deep and elegant wine. Château Fontesteau wines are at their best after 5 to 10 years in the cellar yet never disappoint those patient enough to wait 20 years or even more.
Appellation
Haut-Medoc, Bordeaux, France
Tasting Notes
Very rich garnet colour. The nose is expressive, opening onto jammy aromas of red cherry and strawberry. The palate is ample and full-bodied with a tense, fresh structure. The tannins are rich and tasty, conferring flavour and length to the wine.
Pairing
Charcuterie, red meat, grilled dishes, game, cheeses and chocolate desserts.
Acclaim
16/20 Jancis Robinson
