Château Fombrauge

The Château Fombrauge is a beautiful reference of the Saint-Emilion vineyard. The origins of Domaine date back to the 16th century when the first harvests were carried out there. It passed through several hands during the following centuries, whether religious orders or great families, before being acquired in 1999 by the Bordeaux businessman Bernard Magrez, nicknamed "the man with 40 vineyards". The latter will help to raise it to the rank of the great wines of the Rive droite, combining ancestral know-how and precision viticulture.

The Château Fombrauge will be named Grand Cru Classé during the 6th edition of the Saint-Emilion classification in 2012, a status that will confirm its qualitative excellence.

The Château Fombrauge is based on a 60-hectare vineyard planted on clay-limestone soil. The vineyard is composed of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The wines are aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 40% of which are new.

The Château Fombrauge illustrates one of the finest expressions of Saint-Emilion, thanks to fruity, silky, elegant wines with great freshness.
