The New Era of Magrez-Fombrauge Wines
Magrez-Fombrage, a historic property dating back to the 15th century, was acquired in 1999 by successful local wine entrepreneur Bernard Magrez, owner of esteemed Left Bank estates such as Château Pape-Clément and Château La Tour-Carnet. The reinvigoration of Magrez-Fombrage at the turn of the century took shape alongside the "Garage" wine movement with these wines released as a micro-cuvée crafted from the finest lots of three select plots.
With the guidance of renowned consultant Michel Rolland, these wines flaunt a plush, highly-extracted style of Merlot, offering an abundance of richness. Awarding the wine an impressive 98 points, Robert Parker described the 2000 Magrez-Fombrage as "made in an over-the-top style that seems to get more classic as the wine ages…[revealing] blackberries, blueberries, espresso roast, graphite, and toasty oak, with a phenomenally layered, full-bodied, rich mouthfeel."
