"The premier cru of Fontenys can often be rather bound up in its structural elements early on chez Roty, but this emphatically not the case with the stunning 2015 version! The gorgeous nose soars form the glass in a superb blend of sweet dark berries, black cherries, grilled meat, dark chocolate, a very complex base of soil and cedary wood.

On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and very sappy at the core, with stunning soil signature, fine-grained tannins, lovely acids and outstanding focus and grip on the very, very long, nascently complex and refined finish. Perhaps the greatest young vintage of Fontenys I have ever tasted from the Rotys! (Drink between 2030-2075)"
