Château Fombrauge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2020 i trækasse

“Great mid-palate, background oak, and outstanding length” – Jeb Dunnuck

“Very fine and classy.” – James Suckling

Dette historiske vinslot, hvor der har været dyrket vin siden 1500-tallet, er opkaldt efter en tidligere ejer, parlamentarikeren Dumas de Fombrauge.

I perioden 1986-1998 var Fombrauge rent faktisk danskejet, men først da den velhavende vinkøbmand Bernard Magrez tog over i 1999, fik vinkvaliteten for alvor et løft. Bernard Magrez, som ejer op imod 40 vinslotte i Bordeaux, har en forkærlighed for at få underpræsterende slotte til at ”performe”.

Samarbejdet med ønologen Michel Rolland har været stærkt medvirkende til, at Fombrauge i 2012 blev forfremmet fra Grand Cru til Grand Cru Classé. Rutinemæssig ”grøn høst” er med til at holde høstudbyttet lavt og druekvaliteten høj. Der sorteres druer med hård hånd i vineriet, så kun ca. halvdelen af høsten finder vej til Fombrauges Grand Vin.

Ved køb af 6 flasker leveres vinen i original trækasse

94/100 Jeb Dunnuck
“Cassis, black raspberries, graphite, spicy oak, and floral notes all emerge from the 2020 Château Fombrauge, a wonderfully textured, medium to full-bodied, concentrated, yet elegant Saint-Emilion. A wine that builds beautifully with time in the glass, it complex, has ripe, silky tannins, and a great finish. Tasted on more than one occasion, it never failed to impress. Drink this richly textured, sexy, beautiful 2020 over the coming 15+ years.”

94/100 James Suckling
" This has aromas of cigar box, cedar, blueberries and pine cones. Firm, polished tannins provide sturdy support, yet remain silky. Medium to full body. Very fine and classy.”

“Very mature on the nose showing notes of black prunes, blackberries, blueberries and camphor. Orange blossom in the background. Full bodied, slightly rigid tannins and a finale with optimum progression.”

92-94/100 Vinous
"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."

93/100 Falstaff
“Deep, dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate ochre rim. Fine nougat, dark berries, ripe plums, subtle vanilla and fine oak, candied orange zest. Juicy, good complexity, chocolaty texture, fresh, well-structured with nicely integrated tannins, salty finish. Fine and savoury”

93/100 Christer Byklum
“Ruby. Blackberries, anise, spices fruit driven nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, dark fruits, anise, spices, liquorice, detailed long finish.”
