Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2025 de Fonbel pops from the glass with ready-to-go notes of kirsch, black raspberries, and fresh blueberries, plus hints of mint tea and pencil shavings. The elegantly styled, light- to medium-bodied palate has velvety tannins and great tension framing the vibrant red and black fruit layers, finishing fragrant. The blend is 60% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Carménère, and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. “The Carménère adds spice to the blend, just a touch, but it is really important,” said Constance Vauthier. “It really works well in a hot vintage.”
Black cherries, licorice, black raspberries, currants, and cherries create the perfume. On the palate, the wine balances its creamy side, with its vibrant, energy, finishing with juicy, sweet, crisp, peppery cherries, currants, and licorice notes. The wine blends 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Carmenere. Drink from 2028-2045.
This is very delicious - a buy! Cool blue fruit with soft liquorice and flint aromas on the nose. Clean and juicy, this is fresh and focused with a red fruit and slightly savoury peppery spiced aspect from the 5% Carmenere in the blend. Floral, fresh but soft and almost creamy too - a nice combination of fruit and acidity giving a round but comforting mouthfeel. Charming, easy to approach with harmony, still lively with a kick on the finish but settled and balanced. A touch of enjoyable chalkiness lingers. Ageing no new oak, 30% one-year-old barrels. 3.7pH.
