About the estate
The Château Fonroque estate covers a vineyard area of twenty hectares not far from the village of Saint-Émilion. Located in the AOC Saint Emilion Grand Cru denomination, the property features a large contiguous vineyard situated on a west-facing plateau and slope. The soils across the plots comprise limestone, clay-limestone, and sandy-silty clay. Through the traditional blending of the various vineyard parcels, complex and refined wines are produced. A new cellar equipped with small vats was created at the estate to vinify the harvest from the different soil types separately.
The eno directory lists 2 wines, mostly from Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Le Château Cartier ne semble avoir de « deuxième vin » que le nom. [...] réputé plus rond et plus souple et possède assurément sa propre identité.

A deep garnet colour. The nose is powerful and pleasant, promising of an already seducing vintage. Dry fruit aromas mingled with pot pourri, tobacco and tonka.
