The three main varieties of the appellation come together and complement each other to magnify the whole. Merlot brings fruity, when Cabernet Sauvignon gives tannins and Cabernet Franc spicy notes.

A wine with beautiful acidity and tannic structure, powerful spices but ripe red and black fruit to counterbalance and create a balance that is very particular to Fombrauge and found in most vintages.
