Tasting Notes

Dark, polished fruit leads with black cherry and berry tones lifted by floral hints and gentle spice. Rich yet fresh, it feels velvety and persistent, finishing long with savory warmth.

Pair with roast duck, beef tenderloin or lamb chops. Try with mushroom risotto or aged cheeses to echo the wine’s plush texture.

Professional Reviews

95 Jeb Dunnuck

"A gorgeous wine that shines on all account, the 2018 Château Fombrauge sports a dense purple hue to go with loads of blackcurrant and black cherry fruits as well as tobacco leaf, damp earth, chocolate, and cedary herbs. With full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, silky tannins, and outstanding length, this rock star Saint-Emilion can be enjoyed any time over the coming 20-25 years or more. It's hands down the finest vintage I've tasted from this estate."
