The season began with favourable conditions and early budding. Flowering took place during a dry, sunny June. The summer was more chaotic, cooler and stormier. The vines hit delays, and veraison was spread out over a long period of time. From late August onwards, particularly hot weather set in for a significant period, culminating in an unusually mild end to the season. There was significant temperature variance, helping to ripen the pips and skins. The weather remained dry, ensuring well concentrated grapes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” up=”7″ down=”20″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Harvest area*<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]17,17 hectares[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Harvest terroir*<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Limestone plateau and limestone-clay hillside[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Grapes harvested*<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]90% Merlot – 10% Cabernet Franc[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Harvest dates<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]23 September to 7 October[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Winemaking<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Learn more about winemaking<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Cultivation methods<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Estate certified organic since 2006 and biodynamic since 2008 \u2013 member of Biodyvin.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Maturation<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]30% new barrels and 70% enthat have contained at least one previous wine[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=””][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Yield<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]43 hectolitres \/ ha[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” text_align=”left” css_animation=”” padding_bottom=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Production<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]47.333 bottles[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]* For this Vintage.<\/em><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”small” position=”left” up=”20″ down=”7″][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text el_class=”justif”]Tasting notes<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A beautiful garnet and purple colour. The nose is complex (Morello cherry, wild strawberry, coffee, old rose), fine and refined. The wine is juicy, lively and fresh on the palate, with a fleshy, caressing feel. This vintage has a strong backbone as well as pleasing limestone tension, beautiful minerality and saline notes.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text el_class=”justif”]Notes updated by Alain Moueix \u2013 2017<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018This vintages beautifully expresses all that biodynamics can add to a wine. It has a chiselled, sculpted, gothic structure. It has power, but there is no showy display of it. The wine has nothing to prove. I am a fan of wines that, like certain paintings, possess and offer their own power without any fuss. 2014 is upright, lingering and taut without being in the slightest bit austere. The effects of biodynamics are also felt in the precision and freshness of the utterly exceptional fruit. Fonroque is showing of a particularly refined side of its terroir\u2019s potential.\u2019<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”52px”]<\/i><\/a><\/span>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
