Le Défi de Fontenil 2009 - Rolland Collection

Le Défi de Fontenil 2009 Wine of France France

100% Merlot - Limited Edition

Once again a late harvest which was not planned, but a grandiose vintage with power and harmony!

Beautiful with a very intense garnet-red colour.

An expressive nose displaying notes of very ripe plum and black cherry.Swirling in the glass reveals aromas of forest floor, truffle and spicy notes.

Opulent on the palate with a smooth and velvety texture, underpinned by great acidity resulting in a lively wine with a long aftertaste.

A moment of pure hedonism!

Blueberries and blackberries, with hints of minerals follow through to a full body, with silky tannins and a lemony finish. Muscular wine.
