After a mild, dry winter, budding was early (two weeks earlier than usual). Summer quickly took over from spring. The temperatures recorded overall were above the seasonal average, and the weather was dry. Flowering began similarly early and went very well. On 26 and 27 June, the temperature exceeded 40\u00b0C, causing burns on some grapes. July and August were gloomy but the vine cycle retained its head start on growth. The early harvests benefited from particularly favourable conditions in September.[\/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]17,59 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]85% Merlot – 15% 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]6 to 24 September[\/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% ethat 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]47 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]60.933 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

Complex and airy on the nose. Fresh fruit (currant, raspberry) and floral (violet) aromas mingle with touches of tobacco and humus. The wine is supple and soft in the attack, then develops a crystalline dimension with wonderful energy. Taking a classic approach, this is both refined and crisp, boasting its usual silky texture and plenty of elegance. The finish is lingering and dynamic for the vintage, with saline notes and hints of gingerbread. Its prevailing minerality signals its Saint-Emilion origins.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text el_class=”justif”]Notes updated by Alain Moueix \u2013 2017<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Ch\u00e2teau Fonroque 2011 had a fairly pronounced tannic framework in its youth. Some people described it as austere. However, I always thought that it would eventually be delicious, as the backbone provides good support to an elegant, classic body. This has now proven to be the case, and I enjoy it from aperitif time onwards to take advantage of the complexity of its nose, which offers up flowers, fruit, stone and spice.\u2019<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”52px”]<\/i><\/a><\/span>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
