Why shop with us?
Château Fonbadet Pauillac 2018 is a classic Left Bank red, combining Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. From Pauillac, an appellation long celebrated for age-worthy Cabernet-led wines, it offers a taste of Bordeaux’s historic Médoc tradition.
Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby colour, with aromas of blackcurrant and dark cherry alongside hints of cedar and spice. The palate is ripe and full-bodied, with dark-fruit flavours, firm tannins and a savoury edge typical of Pauillac.
Production
The wine is made from the five grape varieties listed for this bottling. Pauillac is known for gravel-rich vineyard soils that favour Cabernet Sauvignon, but specific details about Château Fonbadet’s 2018 harvest and vinification have not been provided. Its structure suggests potential to develop further with careful cellaring.
Food & Serving
Serve at around 16–18°C, allowing the wine to warm slightly in the glass. It pairs well with roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, and mature hard cheeses. Consider decanting for about an hour before serving to let the aromas open.
Producer
Château Fonbadet is a Pauillac estate associated with Domaines Peyronnie. The available product information does not detail the château’s history or specific distinctions, but its location places it within one of Bordeaux’s most renowned appellations.
