The 2009 Fombrauge has the potential to be the finest wine ever made at this property. Michel Rolland is the consulting oenologist in the vineyard, which sits in the southern sector of St.-Emilion known as St.-Christophe des Bardes. It was picked very late in 2009, and the result is a powerhouse wine with an inky blue/purple color and the smell of pen ink, acacia flowers, blueberries, black raspberries and cassis. The wine hit 15% natural alcohol, which gives it lots of glycerin as well as a full-bodied intensity, while the low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare have provided a striking level of concentration and length. This is very serious wine from an estate that is on the upswing. It should benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring and keep for two decades. Fombrauge is the flagship St.-Emilion estate of Bernard Magrez.

這款葡萄酒酒液濃稠而成熟，單元順滑緊致，伴有黑色水果、李子醬、黑莓醬和黑醋栗的風(fēng)味。余味比較悠長，礦物質(zhì)的氣息綿延不散，果味充沛，酸度適中，討人喜歡。該酒最佳適飲期在2013-2023年。

Maintains the consistency set in recent years. Attractive red-berry fruit. Round and supple on the palate but with structure and length. Ch Magrez Fombrauge (16.5 points) is richer and has more precision and finesse, the tannins silky and long. Better balanced and less extracted than in the past. Drink 2014-2024. (16 points)

On a une profondeur enveloppante, avec un tanin qui conjugue puissance et élégance, ce vin évolue parfaitement.

A really nice wine here. Popped and poured late into the evening, the wine has an open, forward, corpulent, ripe, juicy personality. Lots of licorice, chocolate covered black raspberries, vanilla bean and plum. Drink it now for its hedonistic qualities, or age it for secondary characteristics. Produced from a blend of A blend of 77% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc and 9% Cabernet Sauvignon, from low yields of 27 hectoliters per hectare, the wine reached 15% alcohol and does not display any sensation of heat. This is the best wine I've yet tasted from Fombrauge.
