On the rise and rise, Chateau Troplong-Mondot is increasingly considered a peer amongst the 1er Grand Cru Classe producers and perseveres with its lavish, luscious, strking wine styles. The wine is produced by Christine Valette in collusion with famed winemaking consultant Michel Rolland, who has been working with the estate since the 1980s, explaining some of the density and power now found in the wine. This 2010 iteration is 90% Merlot and finishes with a balance of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernt Franc. Consider the wine full-flavoured, dense and rich, but with a grace that belies its 15% alcohol

France's Bordeaux, is the spiritual home of the Cabernet family of grapes, which extends beyond Sauvignon and Franc to Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. If you love Margaret River Cabernet blends, or indeed the Merlot dominant reds of Hawkes Bay, NZ, then you must look at the wines upon which many of them have been modelled. This wine is Cabernet and Merlot, deep and rich, cassis and earthy cedar, structure and uncommon length - all hallmarks of Grand Cru Bordeaux.

The Chateau Magrez Fombrauge 2018 is a stunning representation of Bordeaux winemaking at its finest. With its deep ruby hue, this wine immediately captivates the eye. On the nose, aromas of ripe blackberries, cassis, and dark chocolate mingle with subtle hints of cedar and tobacco, creating a complex yet inviting bouquet. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a perfect balance of tannins and acidity. Flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and spiced oak dance on the tongue, leading to a long and satisfying finish. This vintage, produced by the renowned Chateau Fombrauge in 2018, is a testament to the dedication and expertise of its winemakers. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential for further aging, making it a truly remarkable addition to any cellar.

Fading. Ruby-colored, with an intense garnet edge. Meaty and autumnal, with fruit aromas. Medium-bodied, soft and light, with earth and berry flavors, but very short. Slightly dry.--1982 Bordeaux horizontal. Wine Spectator
