Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The wine is ruby red, with luster and clarity with expressive nose of regular complexity, primary notes of red fruits, black currants and cherry appealing, supple and light. The palate experiences the characteristic of its balanced acidity and almost total absence of tannins enhance and the impression of roundness. This wine is attractive, elegant and has a fresh finish. It is a blend of Merlot 77%, Cabernet Franc 14%, Cabernet Sauvignon 9%.

Professional Ratings

94 Wine Enthusiast
Barrel sample. Very dense and rich with fine, tarry tannins that float amidst the ripe blackberry flavors. The wine is structured but full in body with a rich, opulent feel.
Barrel Sample: 92-94 Points
90 Wine Spectator
This has a solid graphite note, with good heft to the plum skin, fruitcake, blackberry paste and steeped dark currant flavors. A brambly edge lines the finish. This well-built style shows good energy overall. Best from 2017 through 2024.
90 James Suckling
A fruity wine with blackberry, walnut and wet earth character. Full-bodied, round and fresh. Slightly better from barrel. Delicious. Better in 2017.

The history of Fombrauge realizes the genesis of great wines in St. Emilion. The acquisition of Fombrauge in March 1999 by Bernard Magrez gave the vintage a boost in terms of product quality by bringing the rigor of expertise.

The heart of an area of 75 hectares, 52 planted to date, is beautifully situated on a limestone plateau. The vineyard possesses the three main soil profiles of Saint-Emilion, producing wines of great finesse.
