The opinion of our oenologists
Château Tour Fonrazade presents a beautiful intense red color with a nose of black fruits, and woody notes of roasting. The mouth reveals a wine with a beautiful structure, but all in finesse, highlighting the fruit and the wood well harmonized.

Planted on 5500 hectares, the vines are mainly composed of Merlot and Cabernet Franc with a complement of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Carmenère. The annual production is 150 000 hectoliters and the wines keep for 6 to 20 years.
