2019 Fombrauge

"Fons Brogiera: a spring surrounded by heather” . This was the first mention of the name Fombrauge which, for 6 centuries now, has epitomised the elegance of the Grand Cru Classé wines of Saint Emilion. From the Canolle family in the 15th century to Bernard Magrez today, six families have succeeded each other in owning and running Château Fombrauge. Its vineyard is distinguished first by its size (58.60 hectares), and then by its diversity of soils as well as exposures that give Fombrauge wine 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.
