88-90/100Neal Martin

The 2024 Fombrauge, matured in 70% new oak, has a simple floral nose that does not possess the complexity of recent vintages. It comes across as a little staid. The palate is medium-bodied and balanced, with supple tannins. This is curiously a little Left Bank in terms of structure with a short but refreshingly sapid finish. It's not the best vintage, but if the aromatics improve, this could be a useful Saint-Émilion.

90-93/100 Antonio Galloni

The 2024 Fombrauge is supple, forward and open-knit, all of which make it a fine choice for drinking upon release. Supple contours wrap around a core of plum, dark red cherry, spice, new leather, cedar and rose petal. This is a very different style than the past because of the reduction of new oak and gentler winemaking overall. There is a bit of firmness on the finish that needs time to resolve. Hopefully, élevage will take care of that. Aging is 70% in oak (50% new) and 30% in a combination of ceramic, cement and stainless steel. Tasted three times.
