Château Fombrauge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé AOC

“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 Latour-Martillac Grand Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Leognan AOC

2021

Château Latour-Martillac Grand Cru Classé de Graves Pessac-Leognan AOC

Thanks to the long involvement of generations of the Kressmann family, and the recognition shown in 1953 by the classification of Graves, the wines of Château LaTour-Martillac feature among the best of Pessac-Léognan. The expansion of the range was drawn up by Tristan and Loïc Kressmann. The second wines appeared at the end of the 1980’s under the label Lagrave-Martillac, followed by the Château Langlet, a magnificent property in the Graves appellation, acquired in 1999.

A particularly wet winter preceded a spring punctuated by episodes of frost and then strong mildew pressure that impacted the vineyard. This 2021 Château Latour-Martillac is the second vintage vinified in the property’s new winery and the first vintage drived by Edouard Kressmann.

Certified sustainable HVE (High Environmental Value).

Clos du Marquis Saint-Julien AOC

2021

Clos du Marquis Saint-Julien AOC

The name of Clos du Marquis, created in 1902, was inspired by the Petit Clos adjacent to the Château de Léoville, residence of the Marquis de Las Cases. The Clos du Marquis is produced from top terroirs of the Saint-Julien Appellation that were not exclusively part of the old Domaine de Léoville cadastre. These terroirs are located slightly to the west and are surrounded by prestigious Classified Growths, particularly Seconds Crus Classés of Saint-Julien and Pauillac : Léoville Poyferré, Léoville Barton, Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande… The Clos du Marquis offers a fine expression of the Saint-Julien character : structure, complexity, harmony, distinction and ageing potential.

Structured, direct, and intense, the 2021 Clos du Marquis has a strong identity that owes much to the elegance and power of the Cabernets, which perform well in this vintage. This wine displays complexity, aristocratic stature, and an airy, inviting elegance that lingers on the finish.
