Tasting Notes

89-92
Vinous Antonio Galloni - 01 Apr 16
The 2015 de Fonbel is another intense wine from the Vauthier family. Plum, crème de cassis, menthol, violet and lavender notes are fused together in this super-expressive, unctuous Saint-Émilion. The 2015 is rich, exotic and super-concentrated, yet it has also retained striking freshness. This is yet another 2015 Bordeaux that is pure pleasure. The blend is 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Carménère and 5% Petit Verdot, done mostly in stainless steel, with about 30% oak.

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 17 Nov 22
2015 de Fonbel is a blend of 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 7% Carmenere and has a medium to deep garnet color. It rolls out with expressive notions of prunes, Morello cherries, and tilled red soil, plus wafts of red roses, redcurrant preserves, and Ceylon tea. Medium-bodied, the palate is lively and chewy with compelling energy and a spicy lift on the finish.
