91 Pts Wine Spectator |
"Round and fruity, with crushed black fruit and a hint of oaky vanilla. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a long, balanced finish. Concentrated and rich, with lots of coffee and berry character. Best after 2009. 4,330 cases made. -JS" (03/08) |

"The backward 2005 Fontenil displays some of the vintage's structured tannins and potential ageability. Sweet raspberry, black currant, crushed rock, and spring flower aromas emerge from this medium-bodied effort. It possesses beautiful concentration and purity, but requires another 1-2 years of bottle age. It should keep for 15+ years." |
Description:
WINERY:
"Dany and Michel Rolland are the heirs to a solid family wine tradition. Both have degrees in Oenology from the University of Bordeaux, and they know the Fronsac appellation well. In 1986, they acquired a few hectares in the commune of Saillans, which they called Chateau Fontenil, after the name of one of the plots in the vineyard. The vines are on a slope with a southerly aspect, looking down on the river Isle - a tributary of the Dordogne - and the town of Libourne. Tradition co-exists with new technology including small stainless steel and wooden vats, a double sorting table and barrel stock of which 60% are renewed each year. Yeild control from pruning the vines until green harevesting is employed and harvest is done manually, plot by plot using small crates." -Importer
