Château Fombrauge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé AOC – Limited Gold Collection

“Fons Brogiera: a spring surrounded by heather”. This was the first mention of the name Fombrauge which, for 6 centuries now, has epitomised the elegance of the Grand Cru Classé wines of Saint Emilion. From the Canolle family in the 15th century to Bernard Magrez today, six families have succeeded each other in owning and running Château Fombrauge, providing the estate, which harvested its first grapes in 1599, with a rare stability and a pioneering spirit beyond compare.

To ensure the full expression of the estate’s rich terroir, Bernard Magrez, the owner since 1999, today combines ancestral savoir-faire with precision viticulture. The result is a sublime wine, the epitome of a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé.

Château Fombrauge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé AOC – Limited Gold Collection (often released as Collection Or) is a highly sought-after special release. This special luxury edition celebrates the “1ere Récolte en 1599” (meaning First Harvest in 1599), a core piece of historical branding prominently printed on the labels of Château Fombrauge, which highlights its status as one of the oldest wine estates in the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé AOC.

The Limited Gold Collection elevates the standard experience through premium presentation and careful selection. Bottles in this limited series are presented in distinctive, collector-grade black or gold themed gift packaging. And the feature an elegant wax-dipped capsule or an upgraded gold label layout. This bottling makes a great luxury gift for wine enthusiasts or a centerpiece for high-end collectors.
