2016 Bordeaux Fronsac, Clos du Roy Fronsac

Vignobles Hermouet

Accolades are not just handed out. Known as the ‘great wine’ of the property the 2016 Clos du Roy brazenly flaunts it’s earthy, briary-scented flavours and it’s strong definition while offering a finish of blackberry and bilberry with a touch of sea salt. I’d say this accolade is more than earned.
