Chateau Fombrauge Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

St. Emilion Grand Cru Classe from this spectatular vintage, going down as one of the best vintages in Bordeaux in decades. This is Fombrauge's signature right bank blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, incredibly expressive, rich style, that shows wonderful balance with the use of only 40% new French oak, allowing their limestone rich terroir to shine in this 'best vintage ever' of Chateau Fombrauge. Scoop this up now before it sells out before it even arrives the the States.

A gorgeous wine that shines on all account, the Château Fombrauge sports a dense purple hue to go with loads of blackcurrant and black cherry fruits as well as tobacco leaf, damp earth, chocolate, and cedary herbs. With full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, silky tannins, and outstanding length, this rock star Saint-Emilion can be enjoyed any time over the coming 20-25 years or more.
