Château Fombrauge 2020

Saint-Emilion at its best, from merlot and cabernet franc planted on limestone. The grapes are picked manually with the greatest care, during the vinification there is a cold maceration of a maximum of 8 days at 8 ° C. Afterwards there is a maceration of about 30 days and an aging in oak barrels, of which 40% are new and 60% second-year barrels. In the nose we have impressions of blueberries and cassis with a hint of roasted coffee. When tasting, flavors of ripe forest fruits, slightly spicy accents and very fine tannins are perfectly balanced with the necessary acidity. Serve in a Bordeaux glass and open half an hour before in its youth. Value for money: a winner from one of the most beautiful villages in and around Bordeaux, worth a visit! Did you know that Benoît is knighted in the exclusive 'Confrerie of Saint-Emilion', this is an annual celebration, announcing the official harvest date. Lots of tasting pleasure. Health!
