Chateau de Fonbel 2016 is a beautifully crafted Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, showcasing the depth and elegance that Bordeaux is known for. Sourced from a vineyard with a long history in the region, this wine strikes a perfect balance between power and finesse. The 2016 vintage is a standout, with the meticulous winemaking practices of the team at Chateau de Fonbel capturing both the richness of the fruit and the terroir of Saint-Émilion.

On the nose, the wine offers an inviting bouquet of dark berries, dried herbs, and a hint of tobacco, creating a refined and complex profile. On the palate, it’s elegant yet structured, with silky tannins and a core of ripe fruit—blackberry, plum—interwoven with subtle earthy undertones and a touch of spice. The finish is long, clean, and mineral-driven, showcasing the wine’s balance and aging potential.

Chateau de Fonbel 2016 is a wine that will age gracefully, evolving over the next decade or more, but it’s also approachable now for those who appreciate Bordeaux’s classic style. It’s perfect alongside roasted meats, duck, or soft cheeses, capturing the essence of Saint-Émilion in every sip.
