Chateau Fombrauge Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe 2011

35.30 € Tax included

Château Fombrauge 2011 is a wine from Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé resulting from a rigorous parcel selection, by terroir and grape variety (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc), according to the age of the vines. The Château's first vines were planted more than 400 years ago.

It has a ruby colour, bright and limpid. On the nose, there are aromas of red fruits (blackcurrant, cherry) and the palate is supple and balanced between a contained acidity and a beautiful roundness, with an elegant and fresh finish.

You can findall the wines of Château Fombrauge and Saint-Emilion on sale at the moment and in particular several old vintages of this great appellation on the right bank of the Bordeaux vineyards.
