Château Fonréaud 2021

The 2021 Fonréaud is very perfumed on the nose of pure black cherries and blueberry fruit, plus a touch of violet petal; the oak is nicely integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied with a touch of blood orange on the entry, good depth and gentle grip on the finish. There is just a touch of greenness on the aftertaste; I wonder if that will be subsumed by the time of bottling. Drinking window: 2025-2038. Score – 88-90. (Neal Martin, vinous.com, May 12, 2022)
