Château Fonroque, 2020

The first biodynamic château to be part of St Émilion Grand Cru, Fonroque is always one of the best value picks from Bordeaux En Primeur.

The estate was the original home of the Moueix family, who own Trotanoy & Lafleur-Petrus in Pomerol, as well as Dominus in Napa, though they sold the château to the Guillard family in 2017 (Alain Moueix has stayed on as an active consultant).

Stylistically the wine is all about elegance and finesse, and the 2020 is arguably their finest vintage to date, with some glowing scores from all major critics, including 93 points from Jane Anson.
