Château Fontaine de l'Aubier 2019 – Médoc
91 Points James Suckling | Organic & HVE Certified | Classic Left Bank Bordeaux

WA well-crafted, classically styled Médoc from the strong 2019 vintage, offering structure, freshness, and immediate drinkability. Delivering the character of far more expensive Left Bank wines, it stands out as one of the best-value Médoc wines currently available in Japan.
 
91 Points – James Suckling “A very well-made Médoc with an attractive interplay of ripe currants, healthy tannins, and lively acidity. With some aeration, graphite and savory notes add interest. I like the fleshiness at the finish… Drinkable now, but best from 2024.”

Tasting Profile
Deep garnet in color. The nose opens with blackcurrant and dark-berry fruit, with subtle graphite and savory notes developing with air.
 
On the palate, the wine is structured yet balanced, with ripe, polished tannins and a fresh backbone. A touch of oak adds roundness without overpowering the fruit. Clean, classic Médoc finish.
Drink now with aeration or over the next 5–8 years.
