Tasting Notes

The Chateau Fonroque 1955 is a remarkable vintage from Bordeaux, France. With over six decades of age, this wine has developed a beautiful brick-red hue with a slight orange tinge. Upon opening, the nose is greeted with rich aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and a hint of tobacco, while subtle notes of leather and earthiness add depth and complexity. On the palate, this wine is full-bodied and velvety, with well-integrated tannins and a lingering finish. The fruitiness of the blackcurrant and blackberry is still present, but now complemented by a rich smokiness and a touch of spice. It is a testament to the expertise of Chateau Fonroque, who has crafted a wine that has stood the test of time and continues to captivate with its elegance and depth. Enjoy this vintage with a hearty meal or savor it on its own as a true testament to the art of winemaking.
