54 Merlot, 46 Cabernet Sauvignon | 30% new oak | 13.5% alc | 30 hl/ha. There is a spicy, green, minty note here that will always be a part of this wine, and while it is just about in balance, it does suggest that this wine is a nudge under-ripe. Energetic, fit tannins make the finish quite drying, so this will take a while to resolve. Rating: 15.5+ Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com (Jun 2022)

An exceptionally reliable estate in Listrac with a skilful team; and you find here well placed bright autumnal fruit, carefully extracted, but simply not concentrated enough through the mid palate to maintain momentum. Drinking range: 2024 - 2035 Rating: 87 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2022)
A strong effort, the 2021 Fourcas-Dupré reveals aromas of sweet berries, loamy soil and nicely integrated new oak. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and lively, with good depth at the core and ripe tannins, it will offer a broad drinking window. Rating: 88-90 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (May 2022)
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.
