Chateau Fonbel

Owned by the Vauthier family since 1971, Château de Fonbel receives special attention because its vineyard acts as a test garden for Château Ausone. In love with their winemaking profession, Alain Vauthier and his daughter Pauline bring high standards and technical expertise to this estate located on the Saint-Emilion plain. A stone's throw south of the village, Château de Fonbel covers 16 hectares of clayey- sandy and gravelly soils.

Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the most prestigious wine regions in the world, is located in southwestern France and is celebrated for its exceptional wines. It benefits from a temperate maritime climate, influenced by the nearby Atlantic Ocean, providing ideal conditions for viticulture. It is particularly renowned for its red wines, primarily blends of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, offering rich, complex flavours and excellent ageing potential. Notable sub-regions include Médoc, Saint-Émilion, and Pomerol. Bordeaux also produces exquisite white wines, both dry, from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, and sweet, from the Sauternes and Barsac areas. The region's unique terroir, combined with centuries-old winemaking traditions, results in wines of unparalleled quality and distinction. Bordeaux remains a must-visit destination for wine enthusiasts seeking world-class wines and a rich viticultural heritage.
