      90/100

      Château de Fonbel St. Émilion Grand Cru 2022 is a dry red wine crafted from a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère, and Petit Verdot, sourced from the prestigious Saint-Émilion appellation in Bordeaux, France. This wine embodies the elegance and complexity characteristic of the region, benefiting from the expertise of the Vauthier family, who also oversee the renowned Château Ausone. With its rich heritage and meticulous winemaking, Château de Fonbel offers a well-structured and expressive Bordeaux experience.

      Château de Fonbel St. Émilion Grand Cru 2022 presents enticing aromas of ripe black cherries, cassis, and plums, accented by hints of tobacco, cedar, and delicate floral notes. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with refined tannins and a well-balanced acidity, leading to layers of dark fruit, spice, and subtle earthy undertones. The finish is long and elegant, showcasing the wine’s aging potential and complexity.

      This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled ribeye, or duck breast, where its structure and depth complement the richness of the meat. It also enhances the flavors of aged cheeses and truffle-infused dishes, making it a versatile choice for refined dining experiences.

      Saint Emilion is one of the key appellations of the Right bank as well all of Bordeaux. Due to the weather Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes are dominant here. Wines are saturated, fruity, with toasted aromas and even slightly sweet. Before falling in love with the dry Médoc wines, wine lovers usually dip their toes into the Saint Emilion ones first. Since 1955 the region follows the Premier Grand Cru classification system. Unlike the Left bank, Saint Emilion changes its wine house classification every 10 years.
      Bordeaux
      All products from this region
      Bordeaux wines are considered to be the most prestige and renowned in the world. The region is mainly known for its dry red wines made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes, and one can almost always find the word Château (French for „castle”) on Bordeaux wine labels. In order to understand the style of wine most desirable for your taste, it is recommended to try different samples from the Left as well as the Right Bank of The Gironde. Both banks differ not only with different soil, but also with the share of specific wines. There are several classifications in Bordeaux but the main one, introduced in 1855, hasn’t changed since and still impacts wine prices nowadays. A few years later, in 1936, an alternative classification system - Crus Bourgeois - was established. Bordeaux is known for a commerce praxis called en primeur - it means that a buyer can purchase wines immediately after harvest and prior to production for a substantially lower price, thus obtaining the opportunity to sell them for a larger profit later in the future. Bordeaux wines can be described as big, complex and with a strong character, but very friendly at the same time so that each and every wine lover could find something tasty and suitable for a great wine night.
