NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This well-structured, full-bodied Château Fombrauge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru (Grand Cru Classé) has a deep ruby hue and a nose of dark red fruits, blackberry, and cassis.On the palate, it is concentrated yet balanced, with a core of ripe cherry and plum flavors, hints of tobacco and licorice, and a long, velvety finish.
