Tasting Notes
Pale yellow and green in colour, this medium bodied Bordeaux white has superb concentration, intensity and freshness with all the fine citrus aromas of Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Intense on the nose, the palate is fresh and aromatic revealing soft grapefruit and delicate, flinty notes with a hint of oak.

During the 1930s, Robert Peyronie began to accumulate vineyards that were neglected or sold at auction. The name Fonbadet was used for his best wines.
While the actual Chateau is located very near to Chateau Lynch Bages, Chateau Fonbadet 20 hectares of vineyards are split into 3 separate areas - 13 hectares in North Pauillac, 4 hectares are near to Chateau Pichon Baron and the final 3 hectares are in the centre of the appelation.
