Château Le Chêne Domaines Fabre 2010

Craig Haynes rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

I opened this 2010 vintage in 2022, and my senses thanked me immediately. I'm drawn to the contemplative characters in this Bordeaux red. I’ll explain what I mean.

When in my glass, the aromas are mature and compelling. Think red fruit that’s mellow and ripe - especially cherries and currants - and infused with sweet balsamic, cigar box, and oregano. The flavours are mature and low in intensity, but they’re delicious. They taste to me like sour red cherries and savoury spice. The mouth feel is pleasing, too. Medium bodied, tongue coating, super dry, and dialed down tannins.

I'll pair this with hard cheeses.

PS - This Bordeaux features Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot.

Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Tasted in 2020. Still a lot of primary fruit aroma including red cherry and currant, along with some dried herbs, eucalyptus, graphite and smoke. Full bodied on the palate, tannins are still present but likely softened over time. Fruit is still quite fresh with some dried, herbaceous notes and oak and smoke on the finish. Still tasting great but i would drink in the next year or two if you do like that ripe fruit. Enjoy with grilled meats.

Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:

Deep ruby colour. On the nose, rich strawberry aromas intermixed with scents of blackcurrant and spices. Full-bodied with pleasant sucrosity and medium-full supple tanins. Long and pleasant finish. Very fine wine pleasant to drink young thanks to its fruit and roundness.
