Fombrauge Grand Cru Classé Saint-Emilion, 2022

Fombrauge Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion 2022 is a polished Bordeaux from one of Saint-Émilion’s most historic estates, offering the depth and elegance that have made the appellation world-famous. As a Grand Cru Classé, it combines precision, structure, and immediate charm, while still promising rewarding development in the cellar.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, expect a deep ruby-purple color that hints at the wine’s youthful concentration. The nose is typically expressive and layered, with ripe dark berries, plum, violet, cedar, tobacco, and a touch of spice and graphite. On the palate, it should feel supple yet structured, with ripe fruit wrapped around fine tannins and a fresh, balanced finish. The 2022 vintage in Bordeaux is known for its ripeness and concentration, and this wine is likely to show both generosity and tension. While enjoyable earlier than many classic cellar wines, it should also age gracefully over the next 8–15 years, gradually gaining complexity and finesse.

Production
Produced in Saint-Émilion on Bordeaux’s right bank, Fombrauge benefits from a terroir shaped by clay and limestone soils that help retain freshness while supporting ripeness and texture. Grapes are typically harvested parcel by parcel at optimal maturity, allowing the team to preserve precision and site expression. Vinification is carried out with care to highlight fruit purity, structure, and the refined character expected of a Grand Cru Classé.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roast lamb, duck breast, beef tenderloin, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C to best showcase its aroma and texture. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended, especially if opened young, to let the wine open fully and soften its tannins.
