Château de Fonbel is a Merlot-dominant red blend from St. Emilion, Bordeaux, made by the Vauthier family. The vineyard is planted to Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Carmenère. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by malolactic fermentation in tank; about 70% is aged in tank and 30% in new French oak for around 10 months. Aromas include ripe cherries, blueberries, tobacco, sandalwood and earth. The palate is fleshy with currants, mushroom, olives and anise, with fine-grained tannins. The finish carries berry fruit and oak spice.
