Inhabiting centuries-old winemaking traditions, Fleur de Fonplegade 2019 is redolent with a vibrant mélange of blackcurrant, truffle and clove, underscored by a velvety finish. Its creation process involves meticulous double grape sorting, before fermenting in concrete, oak and stainless-steel vats, finally ageing in French oak barrels for 18 months, imbuing it with sophistication and finesse.

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (92)
Good deep bright ruby to the rim. Crushed blackberry, bitter chocolate, smoky oak, minerals and a whiff of tar on the nose. Fat and sweet on entry, then lush and concentrated in the middle, with generous flavors of dark berries and black cherry. Impressively broad, chewy wine with a mounting finish featuring fine-grained tannins and excellent length. I'd hold this for five years before pulling the cork.Inc. GSTSG$943.72 -
(12x75cl) 2009Wine Advocate (92)
The 2009 Fombrauge has the potential to be the finest wine ever made at this property. Michel Rolland is the consulting oenologist in the vineyard, which sits in the southern sector of St.-Emilion known as St.-Christophe des Bardes. It was picked very late in 2009, and the result is a powerhouse wine with an inky blue/purple color and the smell of pen ink, acacia flowers, blueberries, black raspberries and cassis. The wine hit 15% natural alcohol, which gives it lots of glycerin as well as a full-bodied intensity, while the low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare have provided a striking level of concentration and length. This is very serious wine from an estate that is on the upswing. It should benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring and keep for two decades.Inc. GSTSG$1,060.40 -

(12x75cl) 2014Vinous - Antonio Galloni (93)
The 2014 Fombrauge is dark, sensual and inviting. Plum, black cherry, smoke, tobacco and cedar are some of the many notes that flesh out in the glass. Sumptuous and racy, the 2014 exudes finesse and nuance, but with plenty of the Magrez signature richness. Stylistically, the Fombrauge is a bit more finessed than the Magrez-Fombrauge, which is not a bad thing, as these wines are born with so much natural richness. Tasted three times.Inc. GSTSG$664.68 -

The 2019 Château Fombrauge is terrific and has a good mix of richness, concentration, and elegance. Giving up notes of mulled ripe cherries, Asian spices, blackberries, tobacco, and cedar pencil on the nose, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered, pure mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and just beautiful overall balance.
