Three generations of winemaking craft
- The vineyard has been certified organic since 2020, reflecting a commitment to sustainable viticulture and the preservation of terroir. This certification underscores the family's dedication to working in harmony with natural cycles and soil health.
- This wine embodies the dialogue between vine and earth—a testament to the family's deep understanding of their Fronsac terroir and their respect for the land they have stewarded across three generations.
- This is a wine of genuine structure and ageing potential. Patience will be rewarded: cellaring for several years will allow the tannins to resolve and the wine's complexity to unfold with grace.

In the mouth
The attack is soft and inviting, then the wine gains breadth and presence. Silky, well-integrated tannins provide structure without harshness, leading to a long, vibrant finish with excellent definition.
On the nose
Bright, pure fruit aromas with notes of blackcurrant and plum, underscored by subtle mineral and herbal nuances characteristic of the Right Bank.
On the eye
Deep, intense garnet with a lustrous rim
Breeding
In oak barrels for 12 to 14 months with 30 to 40% new wood
Chateau Carlmagnus demonstrates the quality achievable in Fronsac when tradition meets modern organic practice. The 2020 vintage shows admirable balance: ripe fruit, restrained oak, and tannins that suggest a wine with a decade or more of graceful development ahead. A serious expression of its appellation.

CHATEAU CARLMAGNUS
Set on the limestone plateaux above the town of Fronsac in the Gironde, Château Carlmagnus farms 38 hectares of Merlot on naturally drained argilo-calcaire soils, certified organic since 2020. Founded in 1953 by Ernest Roux under the name Carolus, the château passed to Arnaud Roux-Oulié in 1998 — third generation, who renamed it Carlmagnus at the age of twenty and committed to organic viticulture from 2020 onwards. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the rigour of its farming, the consistency of its organic approach, and the honest, terroir-driven character its wines draw from one of Fronsac's most distinctive plateau sites. A Bordeaux address we recommend with confidence.
