Chateau Fombrauge Saint-Emilion

James Suckling über den Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion:

Perfumed nose of dried flowers, sandalwood, pine cones, currants, cassis, cloves, walnuts and spiced plums. It’s medium-to full-bodied with polished, ripe and creamy tannins. Plush and velvety with a supple, fresh finish. Drink from 2024.

 

Antonio Galloni (Vinous) bewertet den Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 Fombrauge is one of the best wines I have tasted from this property in some time. It shows all the richness that is typical of Bernard Magrez's style but with less heaviness and a good deal of aromatic presence that helps balance things out. Sweet dark cherry, chocolate, leather, licorice and mocha build into the resonant, super-expressive finish. The 2019 is a classy Fombrauge.

 

Neal Martin (Vinous) zum Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion:

The 2019 Fombrauge, which was bottled in spring 2021, retains the opulence that I found from barrel, still showing that heady mixture of blackberry, blueberry and a touch of cooked meat, if perhaps just requiring a little more delineation. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy and generous, with succulent ripe tannins, a satiny texture and a gossamer finish that slips down the throat. Afford it 5–6 years and this should evolve into a lovely Saint-Émilion.

 

Für den Wine Spectator verköstigte James Molesworth den Chateau Fombrauge 2019 Saint Emilion:

This rolls through with a cashmere grace, offering cassis, steeped plum and blackberry purée flavors infused with black tea and incense notes. A late alder thread keeps this nicely grounded. Suave. Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2023 through 2035. 23,000 cases made.

This is very floral and beautiful with walnut. dark-berry and blueberry character. Hints of chocolate and tea. Full-bodied yet tight and silky. Long and consistent finish.


 

James Mothels bewertet den Chateau Fombrauge 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

A warm. inviting style. with crushed plum and boysenberry puree notes caressed by anise and singed apple wood accents. Shows nice drive on the finish.

 

Antonio Galloni bewertet den Chateau Fombrauge 2018 Saint Emilion wie folgt:

The 2018 Fombrauge is a knockout. Ripe. explosive and full of character. the 2018 is the sort of bottle that is opened and enjoyed in short order. Dark red cherry. plum. spice. new leather and espresso are kicked up a few notches in a sumptuous. racy Saint-emilion that hits all the right notes. Floral and spice overtones add perfume to this super-expressive. inviting Saint-emilion from Bernard Magrez. The 2018 is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Tasted four times.

Die Degustationsnotiz des Wine Advocate zum Chateau Fombrauge 2020 Saint Emilion :

The 2020 Fombrauge has a deep garnet-purple color and expressive notes of chocolate-covered cherries, mulberries and baked plums, plus hints of espresso, graphite and cedar chest with a waft of Sichuan pepper. The medium to full-bodied palate is elegantly crafted with lovely freshness and a well-tamed, grainy texture, finishing long and earthy.

 

James Suckling schreibt zum Chateau Fombrauge 2020 Saint Emilion Folgendes:

This is really finely textured with beautiful tannins that run the length of the wine and go on and on. It’s full-bodied, yet refined and poised. Pretty finish. Best ever?

 

Das meint die Vinous-Mannschaft um Antonio Galloni zum Chateau Fombrauge:

The 2020 Fombrauge has a crisp blackberry, blueberry and cedar nose, subtle pine aromas filtering through with aeration. The medium-bodied palate delivers crunchy black fruit laced with cedar and very light ash notes. Good acidity here, and nice structure; a convincingly more classic Fombrauge, this, with fine grip toward the finish. I approve.
