2018 Chateau Fombrauge Grand Cru
The 2018 Château Fombrauge Grand Cru comes from one of Saint-Émilion’s historic estates, with written records dating back to the period just after the Hundred Years’ War. The property later became a quality-focused pioneer in the region and was ultimately acquired in 1999 by Bernard Magrez, who modernized the winery alongside renowned consultant Michel Rolland. Today the estate spans roughly 60 hectares of clay-limestone soils with fossil-rich “starfish limestone,” prized for drainage and mineral expression, and it earned official Grand Cru Classé status in 2012 after major investment in vineyard and cellar technology. The vineyard is planted predominantly to Merlot supported by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, a classic Right Bank blend that produces structured yet polished wines with aging potential.
