2023 | Winamaker Notes
The 2023 Bernard Magrez Chi Wen Legacy Peak is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Helan Mountain East region of Ningxia, China, where the grapes undergo a 15-day low-temperature maceration and age in barrels for six months. Developed in collaboration with Legacy Peak, this deep red wine opens with a gourmet bouquet of intense black fruits, showcasing prominent aromas of blueberry, plum, and a playful touch of creamy oak escaping the glass. On the palate, it delivers a silky and refined texture with a fresh, accessible touch of cassis and beautifully integrated wood, making it an excellent pairing for grilled or roasted meats and aged cheese.
About Winery
Château Fombrauge traces its roots to the late 16th century, when vines were first cultivated on the property in 1599, making it one of the earliest wine-producing estates in Saint-Émilion. The estate expanded significantly in 1679, becoming the largest vineyard in the appellation. Its name comes from Dumas de Fombrauge, an 18th-century owner who was also a member of the French government. Over the centuries, the château passed through noble families and endured the upheavals of the French Revolution, when it was briefly seized as national property. Architecturally, the estate is notable for its 17th-century chartreuse-style manor house, surrounded by gardens and vineyards that reflect the grandeur of Bordeaux’s wine heritage. In modern times, Château Fombrauge was acquired by Bernard Magrez in 2012, who revitalized the estate with innovative winemaking techniques while preserving its historic character. Today, it is recognized as a Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Émilion, producing wines that combine tradition, terroir expression, and contemporary precision.
