Château Fombrauge

The history of Château Fombrauge dates back to the 15th century, when Jacques de Canolle bought the winery. Since then, a total of 6 different families have ruled the winery, of which the Canolle and Dumas families are the most influential. In the 18th century, when the château was owned by the Dumas family, wine was first made on the winery.

Since 1999 Château Fombrauge has been owned by Bernard Magrez. The wine empire of this Bernard Magrez is not limited stayed until Château Fombrauge, because it also owns the Grand Cru's classés: Château Pape Clément, Château La Tour, Carnet and Clos Haut-Peyraguey. Bernard Magrez breathed new life into the Saint-Emilion wine estate. He, in collaboration with the famous oenologist Michel Rolland, improved the quality of the wines. In addition, impressive investments were made, including the purchase of new small Cuveés, in order to be able to apply vinification on a plot. All efforts have paid off, as since 2012, the château has been promoted to St. Emilion Grand Cru Classé.
