Château Magrez Fombrauge, St. Émilion Grand Cru Classé rouge

Robert Parker: „This luxury micro-cuvée is made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc from the best parcel on the large Fombrauge vineyard. The wine is aged 22 months in 100% new French oak and bottled with no pumping, fining or filtration. Blueberries galore along with some spring flower notes lead to a sensational perfume that borders on perfection. The color is a saturated purple right to the rim. Full-bodied, with the new oak well-concealed, this super-rich, concentrated and extracted wine is massive and set for another 25-30 years of life. This is one of the most prodigious wines of the vintage and another great success for Bernard Magrez and his winemaking team, led by Michel Rolland. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2045. 97+ Punkte”

René Gabriel: „Sattes, extrem dichtes Purpur. Extensives Bouquet, momentan dominiert von toastigen Röstnoten und fast konfitürigen Fruchteindrücken, vom Alkoholtouch her fast schon Zinfandel-Allüren zeigend. Im Gaumen (zu) viele süsse Eindrücke vermittelnd, die Röstung gibt dem Wein eine Australische Shiraznote, im Innern dann trocknende, überextrahierte Tannine zeigend. Am Limit vinifiziert, für WeinWisser mehr Bluff als Wein und vor allem durch seine mangelnde Typizität bestraft. Weniger wäre mehr! 17/20 Punkten, zu genießen 2009-2017”.

Wine Spectator: „Very refined and beautiful with very silky tannins and lovely fruit. Full-bodied, with lovely texture. Seductive. New wave. Ultraclean. 92-94.”
