Spread out on the slopes of a hill overlooking the Dordogne valley, Saint-Émilion is a small medieval town classified as a UNESCO heritage site. Its vineyard is also very famous, spread over nine municipalities with a great diversity of terroirs. The limestone plateau and the clay-limestone coast give wines of a beautiful color, full-bodied and structured. Towards Pomerol, the gravel produces finer wines. As for the grape variety, it is traditional from Bordeaux, with a predominance of Merlot. Only the best wines are entitled to the Grand Cru appellation; most come from the edge of the limestone plateau and the clay-limestone coast. The classification of grands crus was established in 1955 and is reviewed every 10 years. It distinguishes two categories of crus: the first classified growths (A and B) and the classified grands crus. This 16th century estate is one of the oldest in the Saint-Émilion vineyard. It was originally a cloister of Carthusian monks, then having belonged to the Dumas de Fombrauge family in the 18th century. The wines of Château Magrez Fombrauge cru are subject to precise and meticulous care and the grapes are handled exclusively by hand, vinified by gravity. The winemaking operations are carried out under the leadership of Michel Rolland. After cold maceration, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats for 28 to 35 days. Note, the vinification takes place plot by plot. The wines stay 24 months in new barrels before bottling.
