Château de Fonbel St Emilion Grand Cru 2020
Clay-sand soils with areas of gravel, more of a challenge than Ausone and La Clotte in the conditions of 2020, but this is extremely well handled, with sweet red cherry, redcurrant and raspberry fruit, ripe with touch of smoked oak (although no new oak used) and coffee beans. In conversion for organic certification since this vintage 2020, this is showing a little less density than the other Vauthier wines in the range, but it is unfussy and well made, easy to recommend.
