Château FONBADET
Red
- 2017
- Pauillac
More mellow and refined since 2015, but still in its ample and generous style, Fonbadet is among the best non-classified growths of Pauillac (endangered species).
The 2017 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2020): 93/100 “The 2017 Fonbadet is plush, sumptuous and super-expressive, with no hard edges and plenty of immediacy. [...] Best of all, the 2017 can be enjoyed without much fuss pretty much upon release. I loved it ”
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2020): 90/100 “Whilst not quite displaying the breeding of the 2018, this 2017 is a fine Fonbadet that will give a decade’s worth of drinking pleasure.”

The 2018 vintage in the press:
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 94/100 "The 2018 Fonbadet is superb. Classically elegant and refined, the 2018 graces the palate with exquisite finesse right out of the gate. Reb berry, floral, blood orange and minty flavors convey freshness as the 2018 opens in the glass. Bright acids perk up the nuanced, persistent finish. Readers won't find too many 2018s that are this delicate, sensual and flat-out charming."
