Parker 88-90The 2022 Fonréaud reveals aromas of cassis, blueberry, menthol, violet and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it's still a bit firm on the palate, but its lively acidity propels it to a long, penetrating finish. This wine is the result of an impressive effort from this property and its well-maintained 43-hectare vineyard in the outreaches of Listrac.
Vinous 91-93
Neal Martin "The 2022 Fonréaud positively leaps out of the glass with vibrant black fruit, delineated and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with finely-chiseled tannins, lively and fresh with a sapid, elegant finish. What a lovely Fonréaud. "

Jane Anson "Concentrated plum in colour, slate texture to the tannins, this is a good quality, with depth, carefully extracted dark berry fruits, a ton of character. Great stuff from Fonréaud "
Wine Spectator 84-86
Antonio Galloni "The 2022 Fonréaud initially shows good depth in its fruit, but hard contours attenuate the mid-palate and finish. The potential here is obvious, but there are also clearly some aspects of farming and/or winemaking that need to be addressed."
