2016 Château Fombrauge Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion

The Grand Cru Classé classification has become an expensive affair for most wines in Saint-Èmilion. However, for the price, Château Fombrauge is one of the only remaining top wines with Grand Cru Classé status and high ratings that can still be purchased at affordable prices. The chateau dates back to 1466 when Jazques de Canolle made himself the owner of Fombrauge. He was later honored for his service to the kingdom as Master of Payments. Since 1999, this former Danish-owned chateau has been owned by the iconic Bernard Magrez, who is also the owner of the cult chateau Pape Clément. The wine is known for its consistently high quality and high ratings, at a still affordable price. Translated using AI.
