Named in honor of Emperor Charlemagne, who once resided in and built a grand fortress in this region, Château Carlmagnus carries a legacy of passion and craftsmanship. This classic wine was introduced by Arnaud Roux-Oulié in 1998, and since then, it has become one of the flagship wines of Fronsac, gaining recognition in international markets. The estate’s vineyards, situated on clay and limestone soils with elevated limestone plateaus, benefit from warm, prolonged summer sunlight, which imparts depth and a distinct personality to the wine while fully capturing the quintessential essence of sun-kissed Fronsac.
Château Carlmagnus delivers an astonishing "Wow" factor, making an immediate impression with its deep, intense aromas. A harmonious blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, this wine offers a rich, juicy palate with bright acidity. Its deep red hue exudes an exquisite purity of ripe fruit aromas, including cherries, dried grapes, plums, and bell peppers, interwoven with violet floral notes, creating a layered and complex profile. Aged for 12-14 months in French oak barrels, with 30-40% new oak, this wine radiates brilliance, leaving a lasting impression on every wine enthusiast who experiences it.
