Jane Anson
Softly spoken expression of the vintage, there is charm here, with redcurrant and raspberry fruits, a little dilute through the mid palate but with waves of sage and tobacco leaf to add complexity. Early to medium term drinking. Harvest 24 September to 7 October. 26 hl/ha yield. 88 points
Antonio Galloni
The 2024 Fonroque is a soft, caressing Saint-Emilion from Alain Moueix. Supple contours wrap around a core of red-toned fruit, cinnamon, blood orange, cedar and pipe tobacco. Floral top notes extend the finish nicely. 91-93 points

The 2024 Fonroque has a pretty nose with red cherry and wild strawberry fruit aromas that unfurl nicely in the glass. The oak is neatly integrated here. The palate is medium-bodied, sorbet-fresh and a little edgy with smooth tannins and a spicy finish that lingers. This is a commendable Saint-Emilion for the vintage. 89-91 points
