Château Fombrauge Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé 2012 Review
Immediately identifiable as a Bordeaux blend, this Merlot-dominant wine mixes aromas of cherry juice, fertile earth, eucalyptus, and a farm-like blend of grass and hay. The tart, earth-driven palate grips the tongue all at once, then fades quickly, with green spice on the finish.
