Fonbadet other_regions Still rather firm in textureWhile not up to current vintages, the 2009 Chteau Fonbadet is nevertheless a beautiful Paulliac, offering textbook notes of darker currant fruits, green tobacco, cedar, and spice.

It's fully mature but will have a gradual evolution over the coming decade.
