The Fonsalette Côtes du Rhône 1995 vintage is an impeccable creation from the very heart of France’s Rhône Valley, courtesy of renowned vintner Emmanuel Reynaud of Château Rayas. Striking a balance of elegance and power, this wine is a fusion of Syrah, Grenache, and Cinsault grapes grown in Reynaud's revered Fonsalette vineyard. The meticulous vinification involves native yeast fermentation and extensive ageing in seasoned oak, preserving the fruit's purity. Ripened under the warm Provençal sun, the wine presents an inviting oaky nose, layered with ripe berries and plums, alongside fragrant hints of violet. Revel in Fonsalette Côtes du Rhône 1995’s full-bodied palate epitomising Reynaud's knack for blending structure and sophistication. Its earthy tannins and memorable drone of spice linger well into the finish, truly reflecting the vintage’s terroir. The moderate alcohol content of 13.5% bestows it moderate ageing potential, making the '95 a reputable choice for collectors. |

Wine Advocate (96)It is fun to go back and forth between the 1995 and 1996, two superb vintages for Haut-Brion. The 1995 seems to have sweeter tannin and a bit more fat and seamlessness when compared to the more structured and muscular 1996. Certainly 1995 was a vintage that the brilliant administrator Jean Delmas handled flawlessly. The result is a deep ruby/purple-colored wine with a tight but promising nose of burning wood embers intermixed with vanilla, spice box, earth, mineral, sweet cherry, black currant, plum-like fruit, medium to full body, a high level of ripe but sweet tannin, and a finish that goes on for a good 40-45 seconds. This wine is just beginning to emerge from a very closed state where it was unyielding and backward. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2035. Last tasted, 11/02. |

Wine Spectator (98)A very youthful '95. Delicate. Intense aromas of ginger, citrus, candied berry and multigrain bread turn to honey, roasted almonds and graphite on the palate. It's all underscored by a precise structure and creamy texture. Its structure keeps it persistent through the long finish. A picture of precision and intensity. Drink now through 2025. 1,700 cases imported. -BS |

Wine Spectator (97)A barrel-fermented style. Shows a slight oxidative character, with whole-grain toast, ginger, exotic citrus and honey notes. Big and dry, with a firm structure and a tactile sensation on the finish. A Champagne for food. |

Wine Advocate (90)With a medium dark ruby color, and a complex, kirsch, pain grille, smoky, deliciously complex and fruity nose, this fragrant wine offers a wealth of raspberry, currant, and cherry-like fruit. It is not a blockbuster, but rather, an elegant, multi-dimensional, round, velvety-textured wine with a lushness and sweetness of fruit that makes it irresistible. This is one of the more seductive wines of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: Now-2012. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (93+)Deep red-ruby. Deep, superripe, fully expressed aromas of black raspberry, chocolate, smoke and leather, plus a ripe vegetal nuance that contributes complexity. Velvety, lush and full in the mouth, but rather closed following the bottling; the wine sweetness is currently restrained. Conveys a sense of brooding power. The silky, fine tannins hit the palate very late. A superb vintage for this wine. |
