CHATEAU LABEGORCE 2016 MARGAUX
JAMES SUCKLING 95 POINTS - "A very elegant and polished Margaux with great structure and an attractive touch of herbal freshness, then a delicate touch of sweetness at the long, fine finish. A blend of 38 per cent cabernet sauvignon, 52 per cent merlot, six per cent cabernet franc and four per cent petit verdot."
JEB DUNNUCK 94 POINTS - "From an estate on the uptick and showing beautifully on two separate occasions, the 2016 Château Labégorce is a head-turner of a Margaux that’s based on 52% Merlot, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot that was brought up in 45% new oak, with the balance in once-used barrels. Sexy notes of blackcurrants, black raspberries, crushed flowers, sandalwood, and incense all flow to a medium to full-bodied, fabulously textured Margaux that carries ripe tannins, loads of fruit and richness, and a great finish. Since arriving in 2009, Marjolaine de Coninck has resurrected this estate and the wines now play with the top in the appellation."
CHATEAU FOMBRAUGE 2018 ST EMILION
"A gorgeous wine that shines on all accounts" - Jeb Dunnuck
"Ripe-plum, black-cherry, milk-chocolate, walnut and vanilla aromas" - James Suckling
"It's hands down the finest vintage I've tasted from this estate." - Jeb Dunnuck
We are excited to offer one of the greatest values from Saint Emilion. Chateau Fombrauge has become one of our best-selling wines from the right bank in Bordeaux and it's easy to understand why. It's hard not to like this rich, full-bodied wine filled with lushly textured dark fruits and a touch of toasty cocoa. We have previously featured the 2015 and 2016 vintages of this wine and the 2018 may be the best yet.
The critics have also spoken loudly. Jeb Dunnuck gave this wine a score of 95 Points, calling it a "rock star" and "the finest vintage I've tasted from this estate!" James Suckling echoed the praise, giving Fombrauge 94 Points and noting its "Ripe-plum, black-cherry, milk-chocolate, walnut and vanilla aromas and flavors."
