Château de Fonbel 2022 is a vibrant and polished Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, owned and managed by the Vauthier family of Château Ausone. This Merlot-driven blend, with portions of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and a rare touch of Carmenère, reveals bright aromas of red cherry, blackberry, violet, and a hint of spice. The palate is supple and fresh, offering fine tannins, balanced acidity, and a mineral-inflected finish. Reflecting both the warmth of the vintage and the precision of its winemaking, this wine is approachable in its youth yet structured for aging. A versatile and elegant choice for roasted meats, poultry, or seasonal vegetable dishes.
