Rustic on the nose, bramble fruits and a touch of herbaceousness. The palate is well textured, good grip from the tannins but the fruit is coming across a little dry at this point. Good initial juiciness - bright and vivid cherry - and great acidity which is lively but then this knits down and turns a little sombre. I like the chalky, almost mineral aspect to it once the tannins have subsided with an enjoyable cooling finish. Lots of excellent potential.

From the home property of the Chanfreau family, this wine is structured, with spicy tannins over jammy black fruits. A core of dryness will propel the aging process. Drink this wine from 2026.

I somewhat underestimated the 2019 Fonréaud when I tasted it earlier this year, and revisiting it at a more leisurely pace, the wine is really quite impressive, unfurling in the glass with aromas of cherries and berries mingled with subtle hints of forest floor, mint and spices. Medium to full-bodied, pure and vibrant, with a concentrated core of fruit, bright acids and sweet, powdery tannins, it's a seamless, serious wine that benefits from a bit of air if you intend to approach it today.

A more modern-styled Listrac, the 2019 Château Fonréaud reveals a ruby/purple hue as well as spicy oak-laced red and black fruits, lots of spice and vanilla, medium body, a supple, elegant mouthfeel, and a good finish. While the oak is certainly present, it's integrated, and the overall impression here is a charming, supple, nicely fruited Listrac that offers considerable pleasure. Drink it over the coming 7-8 years.
