Château Fombrauge

2009 Bordeaux Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon

Château Fombrauge 2009 is a vibrant red blend that beautifully showcases the classic Bordeaux profile. Composed predominantly of Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine offers a luscious, full-bodied experience that indulges the palate. The acidity is bright and lively, providing a refreshing lift to the rich fruit flavors. Intense notes of blackcurrant, ripe plum, and subtle hints of cedar intertwine seamlessly, while the tannins are elegantly structured, contributing to a smooth, velvety mouthfeel. This red is dry, making it an excellent companion for savoring alongside hearty dishes or enjoyed on its own, allowing the complex layers to unfold with each sip.

Probably the world's most famous wine region, Bordeaux is a true powerhouse of French quality. While Bordeaux is home to some of the country's most expensive bottles, it is also possible to find great-value wines from small producers. Almost all red and white wines from Bordeaux are blends. Reds tend to be a mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. But just as important as the blends are the quality of the region's terroir and unique winemaking techniques. The Bordeaux region is divided by the Gironde River into two main parts. Cabernet Sauvignon reigns supreme on the Left Bank, while Merlot dominates the Right Bank. White wines are usually a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon.
