The Château Fonréaud 2025 reveals a deep red hue with violet highlights, both dense and brilliantly clear. The nose is highly expressive, opening on pure, crisp black fruits — cassis and blackberry — lifted by delicate floral notes that bring freshness and elegance.  On the palate, the attack is precise, straight, and mouthwatering. The mid‑palate unfolds with amplitude, carried by remarkably fine, perfectly integrated tannins. A beautifully controlled acidity supports the whole, stretching the wine without ever hardening it.  The finish is long, subtly spicy, and marked by a sense of purity and balance. A vintage of great precision at Château Fonréaud, combining energy, elegance, and depth.
