2005 Chateau Fougeres La Folie, Graves (750ml)

"Consultant Stephane Derenoncourt is a believer in such Burgundian techniques as cold pre-fermentations, macerations, malolactic in barrel, aging the wine on its lees, and minimal clarification. This beautiful Pessac-Leognan exhibits notes of charcoal, scorched earth, and sweet black currant and cherry fruit. With soft tannins, a lush mouthfeel, and a pure finish, it will drink well for 5-6 years." 90 points - The Wine Advocate, Issue 178 (AUG 2008)
