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.

The Vauthier family’s roots in Saint-Émilion run deep, with generations devoted to its vineyards and terroirs. Today, Alain Vauthier and the next generation continue that legacy across six family estates, combining traditional vineyard practices with a quietly modern approach. Château de Fonbel, owned by the family since 1971, holds a special place among them, serving as a kind of testing ground for ideas and techniques also used at the family’s legendary Château Ausone.
