Château de Fonbel is a Saint Émilion Grand Cru red wine made mainly from Merlot which accounts for 70 percent of the vineyard. It is owned by Alain Vauthier from Chateau Ausone. The wine also includes some Cabernet Sauvignon (20 percent of plantings) and Petit Verdot(7 percent), and also a small amount (3 percent of vines) of Carmenere. The latter has begun to gain a toehold in Bordeaux after largely disappearing in the 20th Century. 2013 was not the best vintage, but some good wines were made..
