Tasting notes
The 2016 Château Magrez Fombrauge Blanc, which is close to an even split of Sauvignon Blanc (and some Sauvignon Gris) and Sémillon, is a juicy, forward, delicious white that has plenty of lemon, lime and citrus fruits, some subtle salty minerality, medium body, and an incredibly gulpable style on the palate. It's a perfect house white to drink over the coming 2-3 years.

This has a grassy and lemon-citrus edge with a fresh array of melons and peaches, as well as a light, mango note. The palate has a very smooth array of bright, fleshy fruit and good acidity. Mellow, biscuity finish. Drink or hold.
The 2016 Magrez Fombrauge Blanc opens with fresh limes and lemon scents plus touches of bay leaves, wet pebbles and musk perfume. Medium-bodied, the palate is crisp and refreshing with a long mineral-laced finish.
The 2016 Magrez-Fombrauge Blanc opens with bright, slightly reductive notes. Orchard fruit, slate, mint and pear add to the wine's crystalline, tense personality. The Sauvignon Blanc and Gris are quite expressive in this tightly wound white from Bernard Magrez.
