Wine Region: Bordeaux - France
Grape: 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc
Tasting notes: The nose is quite expressive, of medium complexity, with aromas of red fruits (black currant and cherry). The mouth is supple, slightly acid, and well balanced. Nice finish, elegant and fresh.
Expert Rating: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 91/100
"The palate is sweet and chewy on the entry, powerful and burly with immense weight on the middle and finish. It is redeemed by a decent line of acidity that prevents any cloyingness on the finish." Neal Martin

About the winery: Château Fombrauge is the largest Grand Cru Classé of Saint-Emilion with a vineyard stretching on 58.60 hectares (143 ac.). It is its exceptional surface area that gives the soil a unique character. Diversity of soils but also multiple exposures donate Château Fombrauge’s wine complexity and identity. Soil diversity, of course, because it is composed of asteriated limestone from the Tertiary, white clay and white molasses rocks, but also because of its multiple exposures that gives the wine its complexity and identity. The combination of different soils gives the quality and specificity of Château Fombrauge’s wine too. But the richness of the land wouldn’t be anything without the use of precision techniques. Bernard Magrez gave to the Estate the use of more advanced technologies such as a drone, an extremely effective tool to properly conduct the vines and vineyard.
