Why We're Buying

Critics Scores
Jeb Dunnuck
One of the original garage wines, the 2017 Magrez Fombrauge is a blockbuster made from 60 Merlot and 40 Cabernet Franc that will see 18 months in new barrels. It offers a huge nose of chocolaty dark fruits, crushed rocks, and sweet oak as well as full-bodied richness, impressive mid-palate depth, and sweet tannin. Deep, rich, gorgeously textured, and lengthy, it could be a true superstar and up with the crème de la crème in the vintage.
Vinous
The 2017 Magrez-Fombrauge is inky, plush and deep, with tons of blackberry fruit, bittersweet chocolate, spice and new leather character. This is an especially plush, concentrated style. Vinification in barrel gives Magrez-Fombrauge much of its opulent, pushed feel. Tasted four times.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Magrez Fombrauge delivers an expressive nose of crème de cassis, warm black plums and wild blueberries with touches of spice box, bay leaves and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied with a rock-solid frame of firm, grainy tannins and just enough freshness, it packs in the muscular fruit, culminating in a lingering savory note.

Wine Spectator
Ripe, offering a succulent core of raspberry, plum and berry fruit flavors. Shows good underlying energy and tension, with a nicely rendered anise- and toast-infused finish
