Tasting note

1990 年的楓宏城堡是一款來自 Listrac-Medoc 產區的經典波爾多混合酒。這款酒展現出深紅寶石色，散發著黑加侖、黑櫻桃和泥土的香氣。口感柔和、圓潤且多汁，帶有一絲香料味，這要歸功於少量的 Petit Verdot。這款酒結構良好，酸度平衡，單寧堅實，非常適合搭配烤羊肉、燉牛肉、陳年奶酪和烤鴨。葡萄園的礫石質土壤和石灰岩底土為這款酒增添了豐富和細膩的特性。這款酒在橡木桶中陳釀 12 個月，每年更換三分之一，確保在裝瓶前達到和諧的混合。

The 1990 Chateau Fonreaud is a classic Bordeaux blend from the Listrac-Medoc appellation. This wine showcases a deep ruby color with a bouquet of cassis, black cherry, and earthy notes. On the palate, it is soft, round, and juicy with a spicy undertone, thanks to the hint of Petit Verdot. The wine is well-structured with balanced acidity and firm tannins, making it a perfect match for grilled lamb, beef stew, aged cheeses, and roasted duck. The vineyard's gravelly Pyrenean soil and limestone subsoil contribute to the wine's rich and nuanced character. The wine is aged for 12 months in merrian oak barrels, with a third replaced each year, ensuring a harmonious blend before bottling.

Winery

楓宏城堡的名字原本拼寫為“Font Reaux”，意為“皇家泉水”。傳說中，一位英國國王在 11 世紀曾在此地停留，並在一個泉水處解渴。1855 年，Henri Le Blanc de Mauvesin 根據 Garros 的設計建造了這座城堡，以其優雅的建築風格而聞名。1962 年，Leo Chanfreau 購買了這個莊園，如今，Jean 和 Marie-Helene Chanfreau 以及 Caroline Chanfreau-Philippon 繼續改進葡萄園。赤霞珠釀造出經典的葡萄酒，少量的 Petit Verdot 增添了香料味，而梅洛則增強了果味。這款 Cru Bourgeois Supérieur 葡萄酒是波爾多大酒莊聯盟的成員。

The name Fonréaud, originally spelled 'Font Reaux', means 'Royal Spring'. According to legend, an English king stopped at this spot in the 11th century to quench his thirst at a spring. The chateau, built in 1855 by Henri Le Blanc de Mauvesin, is known for its elegant architecture. The estate was purchased by Leo Chanfreau in 1962, and today, Jean and Marie-Helene Chanfreau, along with Caroline Chanfreau-Philippon, continue to improve the vineyard. The Cabernet Sauvignon produces a classic wine, with Petit Verdot adding spicy notes and Merlot enhancing the fruity taste. This Cru Bourgeois Supérieur wine is a member of the prestigious Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux.
