Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2019 Fombrauge exhibits rich aromas of cherries, dark chocolate, plum preserve, licorice and new oak, followed by a full-bodied, rich and fleshy palate that's soft and fleshy, with a sweet core of fruit, ripe acids and rich, powdery tannins. This is a generous, front-loaded Saint-Émilion from Bernard Magrez.

James Suckling

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.

The nose is fruity and offers power, a fine grain and a peppery side. It reveals notes of cassis, Boysen berry, small notes of wild strawberry associated with touches of small juicy/pulpy berries, cuben pepper, liquorice as well as hints of grilled/coffee and a subtle hint of roasted hazelnut. The palate is fruity, well-balanced and offers a fine acidulous frame, juiciness, tension as well as gourmandize, finesse of the guideline, a racy minerality and fat. On the palate this wine expresses notes of pulpy cassis, blackberry, small notes of raspberry associated with touches of violet plum, cornflower, lily, small blue fruits as well as hints of zan, sugared mild tobacco, nutmeg and a very discreet hint of black pepper. Good length.
