Fonbel was bought by the Vauthier family of Château Ausone and lies near that property. Its 16 hectares of vineyards are an odd mix of plantings, including 7% Petit Verdot and what's thought to be one of the most extensive plantings of Carmenère in Bordeaux.

Very rich-looking wine in the glass: a deep ruby purple. The nose is smoky, black and meaty; notes of beef blood and bramble, with a creamy top-note of iron. This is structured right from the front, with fine, tacky, powdery, medium tannin levels. Very nice tension here. This is concentrated, with a very good parallel shape. Plum crunch and bramble fruit. Bowes Wine original note
All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab.
Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
