Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"The eye: The dress is dark, clear and intense, with a very beautiful color.
The nose: The nose is flattering, undulating around a fruity and floral frame. We particularly perceive notes of red fruits such as black cherries, blackberries and elderberry in this Château Fombrauge Rouge 2020.
The palate: On the palate, the wine is immediately deliciously perfumed. The taste is very fruity and the texture is soft. Gradually, the aromas develop for an increasingly intense and deep tasting."

90 Points - Wine Advocate:
"Aromas of sweet cherries, jam berries, dark chocolate and toasty new oak introduce the 2020 Fombrauge, a medium to full-bodied, sweet and fleshy wine with a liqueured core of fruit, ripe tannins and a broad, expansive finish. It will appeal to readers who gravitate to riper, softer styles of Saint-Émilion." -WK, 4/6/2023
