JEB DUNNUCK: "I loved the 2024 Château Fombrauge both times I was able to taste it. Deeper ruby-hued, with perfumed notes of black raspberries, red plums, spring flowers, and spicy wood, it's medium-bodied, has a supple, layered mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Its purity, finesse, and suppleness are exceptional."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart nach Heidelbeeren und Kirschen, ein Hauch von Kräuterwürze, Nuancen von Karamell. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeeriges Konfit, lebendige Säurestruktur, rassig und mineralisch im Abgang, zitroniger Touch im Rückgeschmack."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Licorice, cocoa, and cherries develop quickly in the nose. Medium-bodied, with a core of black cherries, spice, and a touch of leafy herbs that are evident in the finish. You can enjoy this wine without hesitation upon release. The wine blends 90% Merlot, and 10% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2038."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A little steely on the fruit with spiced red cherries and berries. Medium-bodied, this is chewy and lighter on the palate this year, showing some angular tannins that will need time to dissolve. Tight, medium-length finish."
