Chateau Fontesteau Haut-Medoc, France 2015 Champagne Drappier A late echo of anise

A late echo of anise completes the seduction

The palate also follows the characteristics typical to Barbera with a good overall balance

the 2016 La Mondotte comes from a tiny vineyard of clay and limestone soil located next to Pavie Decesse

the finish is dry with white pepper and jasmine notes

Chateau Fontesteau Haut-Medoc, France 2015 Champagne Drappier A late echo of aniseTasted at the Cru Bourgeois annual tasting, the 2015 Fontesteau has a generous bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, cedar and sous bois scents that are nicely defined. The palate is medium bodied with supple, quite fine tannin, plenty of edgy red fruit and impressive delineation on the finish that shows focus and length. This is recommended. Bravo. 91 Pts Robert Parker
