Chateau Magrez Fombrauge is a 9-acre estate in St. Emilion. Though it dates to the 15th century, the chateau was in 1999 purchased by Bernard Magrez, owner of several Bordeaux chateaux. The estate is planted to 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. The estate also produces a small amount of white Bordeaux, a blend of Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris. Celebrity wine consultant Michel Rolland has been advising the winemaking since 2000. Robert M. Parker Jr. notes that “from its debut in 2000, Magrez Fombrauge has been sumptuous and obviously one of the superstars of St.-Emilion.”
