The Story Behind the Wine: Produced by Bernard Magrez, one of Bordeaux's iconic vintners, Château Magrez Fombrauge Blanc stands out for its unique blend of 50% Sauvignon Gris, 30% Sémillon, and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. This mix brings both power and freshness to the wine, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking a rich yet refreshing white Bordeaux. The grapes are grown on the clay-limestone soils of Saint-Émilion and aged for 10 months on lees in French oak barrels, which lends the wine its signature roundness and complexity.
