Description
Château La Fon du Berger’s 2019 Haut-Médoc is grown on fairly sandy and gravelly soil, offering both richness and finesse. It is highly appealing, with aromas of red and black fruits. The palate is round, velvety and fresh, underpinned by firm tannins that lend just the right touch of earthiness. This Cru Bourgeois has real ageing potential and has lost none of its rustic character.
