The 2020 vintage in the press:
Bettane et Desseauve (Guide 2024): 92/100
Vinous (N. Martin - December 2022): 91/100 “The Fonréaud 2020 is much clearer on the nose than it was in barrel. Blackberries and blueberries, no sign of brettanomyces, very concentrated. The palate is well balanced with fine delineation, taut and fresh with a saline finish. Give it 3 to 4 years in bottle as it shows promise.”
