Château de Fonbel 2019 is a red Saint-Émilion Grand Cru from Bordeaux, made from vineyards south of the village of Saint-Émilion.

The connection with Château Ausone gives it an interesting background, yet Fonbel has its own clear identity: a merlot-led blend supported by cabernet sauvignon and a small but distinctive share of carménère.
