Château de Fonbel 2006 Red (Saint-Émilion)
- Online Exclusive
Fresh black currant fruit gives this wine all the vivacity of the 2006 vintage. It is a beautiful, elegantly crafted wine, as you would expect from the same team as Château Ausone, and it has a lovely lightness of touch, with its final note one of delicious juiciness.

Château de Fonbel 2010 Red (Saint-Émilion)
A rich, oak-laden wine that shows fine ripe fruits. There are juicy blackberry and dried fruit flavors allied to a light structure that results in a rich, open and generous wine.

Château de Fonbel 2012 Barrel sample Red (Saint-Émilion)

87–89. Barrel sample. With remarkable density and solid tannins, this is a firm wine that’s dry and solid. It's likely to age well.

Château de Fonbel 2008 Red (Saint-Émilion)
The wine has some weight and an attractive meat and smoke character to go with the black berry fruits. Well balanced, shot through with acidity.

Château de Fonbel 2007 Red (Saint-Émilion)
- $23
Very fresh, with well-judged wood and very juicy fruit, a wine that is almost shocking in its youthful acidity. It bursts in the mouth, fruit and bright.
