Chateau Magrez Fombrauge Blanc Bordeaux 2020

"92-93 points. A solid white with sliced green apple, mango and slightly toasted oak. Grilled toast, too. It’s full-bodied with layers of fruit and a fresh finish.” - James Suckling

“91-93 points. Apple tart, ripe pears and nectarine notions plus wafts of coriander seed and waxed lemons. Medium-bodied, the palate has bags of zippy stone fruit and apple layers with a spicy undercurrent and long, refreshing finish." – Robert Parker (tidl. årg.)

"91-93 points. Juicy, white peach, elegant and balanced, fine acidity, fruity finish, delicate blossom honey in the aftertaste.” – Falstaff

"91 points. Almost always an outstanding wine… Medium-bodied on the palate, it has bright yet integrated acidity and a clean finish that keeps you coming back to the glass.” – Jeb Dunnuck

“ The white from Château Magrez Fombrauge is a rare and special wine coming from vines located in the town of Saint Christophe des Bardes, in the heart of one of the best Saint-Emilion terroirs. The limestone based soils reveal the aromatic richness and the subtle minerality of this Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris blend.”  - Bernard Magrez

VI har skaffet et sjældent restparti fra top-årgangen 2020 til en mirakuløs pris, så alle hvidvinselskere endelig kan opleve fadlagret bordeaux til en pris, der er til at betale!

Få producenter i Bordeaux mestrer hvidvinskunsten som makkerparret Bernard Magrez og Michel Rolland. Førstnævnte, er en af regionens største slotsejere med adskillige Cru Classé-slotte i sin porteføle. Sidstnævnte, er Bordeaux absolut største vinmager gennem tiderne og han bruger al sin ekspertise i kælderen til at skabe denne forrygende hvide Fombrauge.  

Der bruges et enormt spændende Bordeaux-blend bestående af 50% Sauvignon Gris,  30 % Sémillon og 20% Sauvignon Blanc, som 100-point-winemakeren Michel Rolland gærer og modner på frugtbevarende betontank samt helt nye franske barriquefade. I alt modner vinen i 8-10 måneder, hvor Michel sørger for ugentlig battonage, der giver en herlig cremet tekstur til vinen samt delikate toastnoter.

”Light yellow-green, silver reflections. Delicate vanilla and grapefruit, fine yellow tropical fruit of mango and papaya, floral nuances. Juicy, white peach, elegant and balanced, fine acidity, fruity finish, delicate blossom honey in the aftertaste.”

“Almost always an outstanding wine, the 2020 Château Magrez Fombrauge Blanc offers a crisp array of honeyed lime and citrus fruits as well as subtle chalky minerality and white flowers. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has bright yet integrated acidity and a clean finish that keeps you coming back to the glass. It's going to be versatile and, I suspect, have 7-8 years or more of prime drinking.”

90-92 Vinous
”The 2020 Magrez Fombrauge Blanc is a very pretty, airy white. Lemon peel, white flowers, white pepper and mint give this finely cut, chiseled white nuance and class.”

92-93/100 Vert de Vin Magazine
“The nose is fresh, fruity and offers a fine intensity. There are notes of fresh lemon, fresh white fruits and small notes of fresh quince associated with fine touches of white flowers and very discreet hints of lemon blossom. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, a bit retained and offers a beautiful suavity / juiciness, tension, fat, freshness, roundness, a good definition, a beautiful finesse of the grain as well as fine acidulous frame. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe lemon, juicy peach, juicy pear and small notes of litchi associated with a hint of quince as well as discreet hints of exotic fruit / pineapple. Good length.”

"The 2018 Magrez Fombrauge Blanc is a little subdued on first sniff, opening out to apple tart, ripe pears and nectarine notions plus wafts of coriander seed and waxed lemons. Medium-bodied, the palate has bags of zippy stone fruit and apple layers with a spicy undercurrent and long, refreshing finish."

92/100 James Suckling
“Green apple, lemon zest, lime blossom and a touch of honey on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with bright, tangy acidity. Layered with delicate precision and a tight, mineral finish.”

92/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
“The wine kicks off with a jolt of juicy lemon, white peach, vanilla and flowers. Lush, round and forward, the finish is all about its creamy lemon and green apple character."

90-92/100 Antonio Galloni
“The 2018 Magrez-Fombrauge Blanc is a bold, punchy white. Citrus peel, white flowers, mint and subtle earthy notes add character. In 2018, the Blanc retains a good bit of energy to play off the natural intensity and size of the vintage. The Blanc is an especially structured wine with a real sense of phenolic intensity, rather than an easygoing white. The blend is 40% Sémillon, 30% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sauvignon Gris.”

91/100 Jeb Dunnuck
“Lots of pretty pineapple, honeyed lemon, subtle almond, and white flower notes all emerge from the 2018 Château Magrez Fombrauge Blanc. Medium-bodied, it has a pure, balanced texture, moderate acidity, and a solid sense of minerality on the finish. This is a solid, impeccably made white that's going to shine for 4-5 years.”

 Nyd den hvide Bordeaux til stegt fisk og skaldyr, fjerkræ og lyst kød, cremede svamperetter samt oste i den nøddeagtige såsom Comté, Gruyère eller Vesterhavsost. Server ved 10-13°C

Vinen er fremstillet på et fantastisk Bordeaux-blend bestående af 50% Sauvignon Gris,  30 % Sémillon og 20% Sauvignon Blanc, som høstes fra 2,2 hektar i Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes, der ligger i hjertet af Saint-Emilion. Her er masser af kalksten i jordbunden, der egner sig perfekt til fremstillingen af fyldige og aromatiske hvidvine. Efter høsten bliver druerne nænsomt presset, hvorefter en del af mosten gærer frugtbevarende på et ægge-formet ståltank, hvor imens den anden del gærer på helt nye franske egetræsfade.  I alt modner vinen i 8-10 måneder, hvor Michel Rolland sørger for ugentlig battonage, der giver en herlig cremet tekstur til vinen samt delikate toastnoter.
