Côte de Fonroque - St.-Emilion Grand Cru AOC 2016

Grand Cru Classé goes BIO! Alain Moueix was the first top winemaker in Saint-Émilion to find the courage and openly commit to organic farming. Fonroque has been organically certified since 2006, and biodynamically certified by Biodyvin since 2008. Alain is the current president of the Biodynamic Viticulture Association. Côte de Fonroque, Château Fonroque's second wine, is a very desirable drop, especially in extraordinary vintages such as 2016. The clayey soil lends the wine power and longevity, while the limestone adds a distinct mineral flavour. As with the majority of wines from this vintage, there is an astounding balance between all of the elements. The wine, which is heavily influenced by Merlot, has deep rich fruit, the finest tannins, and the customary grace and finesse of Fonroque.
