Pauillac, Château Fonbadet 2008
/ #59330784
Located in the heart of Pauillac, Château Fonbadet delivers a classic interpretation of the appellation’s characteristics. The estate is traditionally farmed with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, resulting in wines with distinct structure and typical Pauillac depth. The château is located close to some of the area’s most renowned properties and benefits from the same gravelly soil, providing good drainage and optimal ripening conditions.
2008 was a cool year in Bordeaux with challenges during the growing season, but patient handling during the harvest often yielded results with classic expression and good balance between acidity and tannin. In Fonbadet’s interpretation, this typically means a more traditional and structured style that develops over time and offers notes of dark berries, cedar and tobacco. The chateau is known for delivering Pauillac with a slightly more accessible profile in its youth, but the 2008 still has good aging potential.
