"The 1995 vintage, renowned for its high quality in Saint-Emilion, is reflected in this Château Fonroque by an exceptional maturity of the grapes, producing a rich and harmonious wine. This warm and balanced vintage gives the wine a beautiful aromatic concentration with intense notes of ripe black fruits, plum and blackcurrant, accompanied by elegant spicy and oaky touches."
