2021 Fonroque (BIO ORGANIC) 6 Pack

Château Fonroque a pioneer among the Saint-Emilion Grands Crus Classés. The chateau was acquired by Adèle and Jean Moueix in 1931. Their great-grandson Alain Moueix inherited the estate from his father and ran it until 2001. He immediately began using (and gained certification for) an approach that places organic intelligence and observation at the heart of vineyard progress – biodynamics. Two decades of enthusiastic and exploratory research have changed the estate and those who live there, with conversion to organic and then biodynamic farming. This patient, passionate adventure has resulted in the charming estate gaining the status of the first ever Grand Cru Classé to hold biodynamic certification . It makes a very fine Saint-Emilion wine with a growing international reach and reputation. The challenges of evolving and adapting are now shaping the chateau’s life and future, with the arrival of the Guillard family , for whom biodynamics was a key selling point and the skills and support of Alain Moueix were vital.
