Awards

Gilbert et Gaillard 88/100
Belle robe d'un rouge franc, plutôt soutenu. Nez expressif, sur le fruit rouge, léger fond fumé et épicé. En bouche un vin structuré mais fondu. Les tanins sont mûrs, légèrement saillants, bien dans l'esprit de l'appellation. Un listrac typé.

Bettane & Desseauve 15/20
Trame classique pour ce millésime. Matière souple, droite, harmonieuse, sans exubérance ! Vin classique de la propriété.

The Wine Estate

Château Fourcas Dupré

Owner since the 1970s, Guy Pagès, accompanied by Alex Laffont, an enlightened oenophile, undertook numerous works following the purchase of the estate. They made Château Fourcas Dupré one of the leaders in the Listrac-Médoc appellation. Today, the appellation is enjoying a very strong renewed interest.

Je me suis trompé de bouteille en l'ouvrant, je voulais la laisser vieillir encore un peu. Je pense sincèrement que ce vin sera très bon dans quelque années. Je l'ai trouvé un peu en "sommeil" avec plein de promesse.

Très équilibré, puissance et bon parfum!
