Chateau Fombrauge is the largest estate in St. Emilion, and also the oldest: it dates back to 1679, although vines were cultivated on the site as early as 1599. Chateau Fombrauge takes its name from one of the earlier owners, Dumas de Fombrauge, who was also a member of the French government in the 1700s. However, the modern age for Chateau Fombrauge really starts in 1999, when Bernard Magrez purchased Fombrauge from the Hans Just company. Chateau Fombrauge is one of the numerous estates owned by Bernard Magrez who also has properties in the Left Bank, Sauternes and of course in Pessac Leognan with Chateau Pape Clement. The massive 150-acre vineyard (the second largest in all of St. Emilion and the largest classified growth) is planted to an 85/15 mix of Merlot and Caberne Franc, the vines being an average of thirty years of age. This is a very user-friendly Bordeaux, done in a modern, forward, lush, ripe and open style.
