Vins Rouges

83

Château Fontenil, Fronsac “Spiced and cedary nose with dark berries, walnuts and hints of licorice. Firm and lightly chewy on the palate, with a medium to full body and tight tannins. Structured and focused with good concentration and

length. Try after 2026.” 97 pts, James Suckling 319646

$65

84 Château de France, Pessac‑Léognan “Ripe and focused, with sleek sanguine and iron threads harnessing the core of gently steeped damson plum, cherry and red currant fruit. There’s a subtle, leathery tug through the finish. Textbook for the vintage. Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2036.” 92 pts, James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 328459 $55 85 Château de Francs Les Cerisiers, Francs Côtes de Bordeaux “Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Red berry nuances, subtle leafy spiciness and a hint of cloves. Medium complexity, freshly structured, wild red berries on the finish and fine toasted aromas on the aftertaste.” 90 pts, Peter Moser, Falstaff 332922 $35
