Bernard Magrez's kosher cuvee from Chateau Fombrauge - the largest Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Émilion, Merlot-led on Right Bank clay-limestone.
Mood: The cellar Bordeaux. The serious Old World drinker. The Yom Tov seudah where a Grand Cru Classé appears on the table.
Our sommelier says
Deep ruby-purple. The nose is classic Right Bank - black cherry and plum layered over cedar, truffle, dark chocolate, and the mineral signature of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau. Merlot leads on plush mid-palate, Cabernet Franc adds the leafy graphite lift, Cabernet Sauvignon brings the structural spine. Full-bodied, finely tannic, French oak fully absorbed into the fruit. Long, layered, savory finish. Decant an hour for current drinking; built to hold a decade.
Tasting notes
Black cherry, plum, cedar, truffle, dark chocolate, mineral. Full body, fine tannin, plush mid-palate, oak-integrated. Long, layered, savory, age-worthy.
Food pairing
Standing rib roast, lamb shoulder, slow-braised short ribs, aged hard cheese (after the wait), Yom Tov seudah.
