Château Fontpinot XO is the fruit of long ageing in dry cellars, which gives it a complex and long-lasting bouquet, consisting of candied fruit aromas, dried apricot, dried fig, marzipan, hazelnut, nougat, then Port notes and a rancio character. The palate is rich and well-balanced, boasting notes of more dried and candied fruits. It finishes on aromatic notes.

One of my favorite XOs, aged for 20 years in Frapin’s dry cellars, to highlight finesse and elegance. Made exclusively from grapes harvested around Frapin’s Fontpinot castle, in Segonzac, the heart of Grande Champagne. Copper-orange in color. The nose is alive with fresh flowers and mint, along with richer aromas of dried apricot, pastry dough and a hint of rancio. The freshness carries onto the palate, where there’s great linear structure, nuttiness and attractive acidity, and the surprisingly intense grilled walnut finish. This is a lively, drinkable style of XO that offers excellent value. (40% abv)Jason Wilson1st September 2019
