"This Peyronie family cru bourgeois estate is one of the rare properties in Pauillac that is not a classified growth. That alone makes it a good value. The wine comes from vines close to Pichon Baron in the south of the appellation. This juicy black-currant flavored wine is still very young, full of its tannins and dark character. With its structure and acidity, the wine will age well."

"The 2014 Fonbadet is supple and highly expressive. Sweet red cherry, plum, crushed flowers and mint are pushed forward in this attractive midweight Pauillac. Silky, plush and inviting, the 2014 will drink well for another decade plus. This is an impeccable and beautifully balanced Pauillac."
