Château Braude Fellonneau 2023 Haute-Medoc

Château Braude Fellonneau is produced by Vignobles Bernaleau in the southern Haut-Médoc, with vineyards around Macau near the Margaux appellation. Deep Quaternary gravel soils provide excellent drainage and heat retention, particularly well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, while nearby clay-limestone parcels favour Merlot. The vineyards have been HVE certified since 2017.

The 2023 is a small-production cuvée, with just 2,000 bottles produced, and is matured in barrel. The vintage earned 1 Star from Guide Hachette 2027 and was also recognized at the 2026 Decanter World Wine Awards.
