Score 91/100 · Drink 2030-2048, Neal Martin, Mar 2026

The 2022 Fombrauge offers red plum and blackberry on the nose, pressed iris flowers, with raspberry coming through with time. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins. Structured, quite tannic, but there is freshness here, with a touch of sapidity on the finish. Needs serious time. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting in London.

Smoky black cherries, savory herbs, crushed stone, and graphite nuances all emerge from the 2022 Château Fombrauge, a wonderfully textured, full-bodied Saint-Emilion that has ripe, integrated tannins and a great finish.

The 2022 Fombrauge has an intense bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and floral scents. Very aromatic anis and orange pith touches develop in the glass with time. The palate is well balanced with grippy tannins, yet there is satisfying freshness and salinity. The finish is nicely detailed and persistent. Afford this Saint-Émilion a couple of years in bottle.

Aromas of white pepper, iron, fresh blackberries and currants. Juicy and firm, with a medium to full body and firm, dusty tannins that tightened at the end. Very good length. Drink from 2026.
