WE LOVE IT BECAUSE:
Château de Fonbel is predominantly Merlot, with around 85% in the blend, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère. Grown on sandy-clay, gravel and sandy soils, it is elegant and fruit-driven, showing ripe black fruit, fresh acidity and supple, well-integrated tannins, with subtle spice and liquorice notes from the Carmenère. Approachable in its youth, its balance and freshness also give it the structure to develop beautifully with time.
