Chateau Magrez Fombrauge 2018

A red grand vin by Bernard Magrez

A red grand vin from the right bank of Bordeaux, the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Chateau Magrez Fombrauge 2018 is made from a blend of Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Franc (30%).

Owned by businessman Bernard Magrez, Chateau Magrez Fombrauge is located on a historic site in the Saint-Emilion appellation, in Saint-Hippolyte. The 1.96-hectare vineyard is situated on a former archaeological site, from which a 2,500-year-old skeleton was once excavated.

For the 2018 vintage, the grape harvest at Chateau Magrez Fombrauge took place on October 3rd. Once the grapes were harvested manually, the berries were sorted by hand by a qualified team of 20. The Chateau Magrez Fombrauge 2018 was matured for 18 months in new barrels and terracotta jars.
