2009 Château de la Rivière - Fronsac

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Fronsac

We tried this wine when we visited Bill Blatch at Vintex, the negociant firm owned by the people who own Chateau de la Riviere. We were thrilled with the wine. It has a nice earthy style with bright red fruit flavors, some spice and coffee-like aromas, and firm structure with a long fruity finish.

2009 Château Fontenil - Fronsac

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Fronsac

WS 91

WA 91

The basic Fontenil (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a deep bluish purple color and relatively hefty alcohol at 14.5%, but it is not noticeable in this full-bodied, layered, opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with some blueberries and crushed rock. Both of these wines have a good 10-15 years of potential in a fine cellar. Two of the best wines from Dany and Michel Rolland are these vintages of Fontenil in Fronsac.

2009 Château La Rousselle - Fronsac

Varietal: Bordeaux Blend | Location: France - Bordeaux - Fronsac

WS 91

WA 92

An absolutely stunning sleeper of the vintage, this blend of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc has produced an uncommonly rich, concentrated wine that is one of the very best wines of Fronsac. Opaque ruby/purple in color, the aromatics offer up notes of blueberry liqueur intermixed with kirsch, blackberries, licorice and crushed rock. The wine hits the palate with some serious thunder and lightning (14.5% natural alcohol) and lots of depth, richness and mouth-filling intensity. Consultant Stephane Derenoncourt has made the best wine I have ever tasted from La Rousselle, and it should continue to drink well for at least a decade. Read More
