This is pure and classic Bordeaux. A delicious elegance delivers the crisp dark red berry fruit. Seasoned perfectly with lovely cedarwood notes and a sprinkle of clove spice. This is drinking brilliantly now - and traditional style of Claret with lovely fruit and no hard edges. L&S (Nov 2019)

Medium red. Wild raspberry, orange peel, and violet on the nose. Sweet and dense, with very good energy giving focus to the flavors of blackberry, spices, flowers and minerals. This flavorful wine finishes ripe and persistent, with a strong floral note. Rating: 85-88 Ian d'Agata, www.vinousmedia.com (May 2012)

Rich velvety crimson. Dusty too. Underneath that a touch of mint. Dry, powdery tannins, lacks fruit depth though they have made the best of it to arrive at elegance overall. Drinking range: 2016 - 2024 Rating: 16 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2012)

Château Fourcas Dupré

A 46ha estate in Listrac, the highest point in the Medoc, with a mix of well drained soils, 80% Pyrenean gravels, 20% clay-limestone. Originally called Château Roulet, Jean Antoine Baptiste Dupré renamed the estate in 1843.

The vineyards are planted with 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 44% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Vinification is classical, with four weeks in vats, barrels and amphora, after which the wine is aged 14 fourteen months in french oak barrels, of which 25% are new each year. The consultant oenologist is Eric Boissenot.
