Wine Advocate (92-94+)Opaque purple-black in color, the 2020 Fontenil needs a little swirling and coaxing to release opulent scents of plum preserves, blueberry compote and chocolate-covered cherries, plus suggestions of candied violets, ground cloves and fertile loam. The full-bodied palate is rich with generous black and blue preserves layers, supported by beautifully plush tannins and fantastic freshness, finishing long and fragrant. |

Indulge in the exquisite experience of the Fontenil Le Blanc de Fontenil 2020, crafted by acclaimed winemaker Dany and Michel Rolland in the revered French appellation of Fronsac. This white, a rarity in this predominantly red wine region, is a sophisticated blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes, handpicked from 30-year-old vines; exhibiting their wealth of viticultural understanding. This boutique offering energises the palette with harmonious notes of citrus fruits and white flowers, underpinned by minerality delineating the clay-limestone terroir. The winemaking process involved cool fermentation in stainless steel vats to preserve the grapes' striking aromatics. The Fontenil Le Blanc de Fontenil 2020 was then aged in oak barrels for ample months, lending it a rich mouthfeel and balanced structure spotlighting the Rollands' relentless pursuit of perfection. This expression encapsulates the strength of its exceptional vintage and the winery’s dedication to reflecting the quintessence of their prized terroir. |
