Chateau de Francs is one of the oldest properties in the Bordeaux region, with a history that dates back almost 2,000 years. From the time of its birth, until it became a vineyard, the estate was used as a military fortress.

The remnants of a gate constructed in the 1600s are the first thing you see at Chateau de Francs. Those antique remains clearly point out the long history of Chateau de Francs in the region.

Tasting Notes

The Chateau Francs Magnus 2016 is very intense, with an inky color. Concentrated, this wine offers richness and aromatic power of pleasant aromas from the very beginning essentially dominated by crushed blackcurrants and black berries. After breathing a bit, the bouquet evolves offering a perfume of balsamic and Lebanese cedar. The palate is soft with a breadth of superb tannins. It is a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc.
