Bernard Magrez Chateau Fombrauge 2016

A refined Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe red wine offering concentration, elegance, and complexity. Crafted from fruit grown on the historic Château Fombrauge estate, it displays a balanced structure with depth and a polished finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with grilled beef, lamb, duck, roasted game, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses.

97 Points - James Suckling

Extremely ripe blackberries, without a hint of overripeness, and a gloss of fine vanilla oak, making this an extremely attractive, modern style St.-Emilion that glides over the palate gracefully, ending in a spectacular interplay of fruit and fine-grained tannins. A blend of 60 per cent merlot and 40 per cent cabernet franc. Try in 2022.

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast

94–96. Barrel Sample. This rich wine comes from a parcel totally separate from Fombrauge, but under the same ownership. It is dense, with firm tannins and ripe black-plum and berry fruits. The whole ensemble will form a powerful wine as it matures. — Roger Voss
