Château Fombrauge 2010

Rating: Robert Parker 91/100, RVF 15.5/20, Hachette Guide Review
“The 2010 is a wine with beautiful body and great concentration, though it lacks just a touch of freshness. ” (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2014 - RVF). This expressive Saint-Emilion is delicious on the palate, quite supple, not overly full-bodied, with an elegant and fresh finish... • Delivered in a wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine shipped within France •

Rated estate (2014 guide) 1*Star (Up-and-coming stars or quality winemakers producing wines of a high standard—you won’t be disappointed when tasting the wines from these estates)

About the estate:

“This magnificent estate is now the largest of the Saint-Émilion Grand Crus. Its ambitious owner, Bernard Magrez, is a hard worker who knows how to surround himself with the right people. Production quickly returned to its former glory: generous and meticulously crafted, the wines assert themselves as modern and flamboyant. Alexis Combe took over as manager of the estate, having applied for Grand Cru Classé classification in 2012 after bringing the estate into compliance by creating a dedicated winemaking facility for Magrez-Fombrauge.”
