Winemaker and Vineyard: Château de Fonbel is one of the three estates owned by the Vauthier family, along with Ausone and Moulin St Georges. It is managed by Alain Vauthier, assisted by his daughter Pauline, with the support of oenologist Gilles Pauquet. The 16-hectare vineyard, located on the St Emilion plain, extends over clay-sandy, gravelly, and sandy soils. The grape variety is composed of Merlot (70%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (30%).
Tasting: A blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Carménère, the medium garnet-purple colored 2018 Fonbel opens with pepper and spice box scents, before delivering a core of baked plums, mulberries and fresh blackberries, plus hints of dried Provence herbs and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate is delicately styled, with a lively line of freshness and chewy tannins to support the fresh red and black fruit flavors, finishing with an herbal lift. robertparker.com (03.31.2021)
Service: Serve at room temperature (16-18°C) to accompany Basque-style chicken tenders.
