Description
*This price includes all shipping and taxes- due 2024* The estate had its first harvest in 1599, and has continued to evolve with the times, carefully crafting high quality wines. Ripeness maps have been created with the help of drones and a skilled team of 20 hand sort the grapes, carefully selecting only the highest quality. Cold-soaked in oak, stainless steel and concrete vats, then aged in oak barrels, 40% new. The wine expertly treads the line between power and finesse. The nose is dark and intense, with notes of blackberry pie, chocolate and vanilla, ripe plum and black cherry. The palate is medium to full-bodied, generous and plush. Fine tannins frame an inviting wine that is simply delicious.

Château Fombrauge

Fombrauge’s history is linked to 3 families: the Canolles, the Dumas, and the Taffards.

The first mentions of Fombrauge go back about six centuries. In 1466, a horseman by the name of Jacques de Canolle, made himself master of Fombrauge after acquiring the estate.

He was a man of great learning and an important figure, who was honoured for his work as France’s paymaster general and made “bourgeois” of the city of Bordeaux. He quickly set about farming his lands and planted his first vines.

With a vineyard covering 58.60 hectares (nearly 145 acres), this unusually large surface area for Saint-Emilion brings a unique typicity to its terroir –a typicity in diversity. The diversity of its soils and the vineyard’s wide range of exposures give the wine of Fombrauge its complexity and identity.

To ensure the full expression of the estate’s rich terroir, Bernard Magrez, the owner since 1999, today combines ancestral savoir-faire with precision viticulture. The result is a sublime wine, the epitome of a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé.
