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 (Mar 2023)

The medium ruby-colored 2016 Château Fourcas Dupré offers pretty notes of blueberries, cherries, and flowers to go with a medium-bodied, balanced, rounded, impressively textured style on the palate. It's a terrific Listrac that has real depth. Rating: 89 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (Feb 2019)
The 2016 Fourcas-Dupres has a very elegant bouquet without shortchanging on fruit. The aromatics here are packed with blackberry, raspberry and light cassis aromas, the oak nicely integrated and with a subtle estuarine note emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp, grainy tannin. There is plenty of fresh, energetic black fruit here laced with black olive and a pinch of brine, fanning out towards the satisfying, long finish. Here is a great Listrac hot on the heels of their great 2015 last year. Drinking range: 2022 - 2040 Rating: 91-93 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Apr 2017)
Bright, mid crimson. Some pepperiness and real drive on the nose. Not the most concentrated wine, with quite marked acidity as well as light tannins at the moment. Very sandy finish. Competent rather than thrilling. Drinking range: 2021 - 2032 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2017)

Good wholesome aromatic fruit. Delicacy and precision, red fruit with high-toned red currant, then a bit more depth. There's really a very attractive richness here. A little spice. Goes on well.
