Château FOMBRAUGE
Grand cru classé

Fombrauge, the largest vineyard in Saint-Émilion with 57 hectares, has been offering since its purchase by Mr. Magrez (1997) structured wines that do not deny their terroir, full, gourmet and devilishly seductive thanks to a luxurious maturing process.

Vinous (A. Galloni) : 95-97/100 "The 2025 Pape Clément is magnificent. The aromatics alone are captivating. Strong floral and savory notes soar from the glass. Lavender, rose petal, sage, mint and mocha lead into a core of wonderfully vibrant red/purplish fruit. Medium in body and deep, Pape Clément is positively stellar in 2025. The Cabernets and Petit Verdot add tons of aromatic presence. Élevage is 85% in barrique and 15% in foudre, with a relatively modest 33% new oak."

Bettane+Desseauve : 92-93/100 "Pure fruit, a warm palate, intense flavour and robust tannins make up this full-bodied, energetic and well-structured wine."

Vinous (N. Martin) : 91-93/100 "The 2025 Fombrauge was picked from September 15 to 29, again, a little later than some other Right Bank estates. Matured in 75% oak, of which one-third is new, it is just missing a bit of personality on the nose, eventually offering macerated dark cherries and light minty scents. The palate is medium-bodied and actually better than the nose at the moment, with quite edgy tannins, fresh and quite sapid towards the finish, which benefits from that more prudent approach in the winery. One of my favourite vintages in recent years… more my style, but just wait for the aromatics to find their groove."
