Tasting Note

2020 de Fonbel is deep garnet-purple in colour. It comes bounding out with notions of boysenberries, stewed plums, and fresh blueberries, plus suggestions of pencil shavings, lavender, and tilled soil. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and expressive, with very soft tannins and a lively backbone, finishing with lots of energy. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent

Product Notes

Château de Fonbel Saint Emilion Grand Cru is an illustrious French wine emanating from the renowned Bordeaux region. This exceptional Grand Cru possesses an alluring garnet hue and red fruit bouquet, married harmoniously with subtle notes of spice, including cinnamon and liquorice. Plush tannins and a restrained, refined acidity lend a splendid depth of flavour and length. With a gentle cedar undertone, this Merlot-dominated blend also features a hint of Cabernet richness. The wine, matured for 12 months in French oak barrels, is a laudable testament to its provenance, presenting vinous sophistication embodied in each bottle. Ideal for special occasions or paired with gourmet dishes.
