The nose reveals aromas of cherries, blackberries and raspberries, along with spicy notes. On the palate, the wine is round, soft and silky. Its deep richness, matched with a nice freshness and a long and mellow finish, make it already a great Château Fombrauge, with a long ageing potential.

Very linear and tight with a firmness and brightness. Blackcurrant, earth, and lemon rind character throughout. Fresh and racy. Needs time to open. Drink after 2026.

Barrel Sample. From vines surrounding one of Saint-Emilion's most beautiful château, this wine is massively rich with dense tannins, dark chocolate and rich berry flavors. Obviously, it has a fine future, ripe with powerful fruits and structure. -R.V.

The 2020 Fombrauge is enticing right out of the gate. Cherries in liqueur, spice, rose petal, menthol, licorice and chocolate make a strong first impression. Racy and deep, with notable textural resonance, Fombrauge is terrific in 2020. There's plenty of opulence and yet the 2020 is nicely balanced.

Aromas of sweet cherries, jam berries, dark chocolate and toasty new oak introduce the 2020 Fombrauge, a medium to full-bodied, sweet and fleshy wine with a liqueured core of fruit, ripe tannins and a broad, expansive finish. It will appeal to readers who gravitate to riper, softer styles of Saint-Émilion. Anticipated Maturity: 2023-2040
