Dark plum and cassis roll from the glass in Chateau Fonbadet 2018, layered with cedar, pencil shavings, herbs and a gentle chocolatey richness. The palate is concentrated yet poised, with fine, tightly knit tannins and a stony, savory finish that feels very Pauillac and promises even greater complexity with time. This vintage stands out for its extra depth and polish without losing freshness or grip.

Château Fonbadet is a classic, Cabernet Sauvignon‑led Pauillac from a patchwork of prime gravel parcels surrounded by first growths, producing a structured yet supple Bordeaux blend with dark cassis, blackberry, tobacco and graphite notes. Typically full-bodied but finely balanced, it combines ripe fruit with fresh, mineral lift and firm tannins, giving the wine both early charm and the ability to age gracefully.
