Winemaker Notes
The main estate wine has a complex mineral style with touches of ruby. Its personality develops with balance and smoothness. With time the sweetness and elegance of its tannins gives a remarkable balance and harmony. One finds traces of roasted coffee beans and toast that develop with time.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Fourcas-Dupre offers plenty of blackberry and boysenberry fruit on the nose, a touch of brine here, a subtle marine influence that lends it complexity and personality. The palate is medium-bodied with a juicy opening, a melange of red and black fruit, taut and quite linear with plenty of freshness and tension on the finish. This is a well-crafted Listrac that punches well above my expectations. Hopefully it can retain this level after its élevage - one to keep an eye on. Barrel Sample: 91-93 Points

Thanks to a continuous and methodical renovation, Chateau Fourcas Dupré has kept the charm of a Medoc wine estate and has put together a formidable way of producing wines. The winery and outbuildings are in architectural and technical harmony. The modern wine vats are doted with an efficient thermo-regulation system. The control of the fermentation temperatures is very precise and helps preserve the fruit and freshness of our wines whilst assuring that we extract the good tannins at the right moment during the alcoholic fermentation.
The cellars that date back to the time of the naming of the estate (1843) are very well adapted to the maturing of our wines. The recently built cellar storage for bottled wine allows us to store the wines bottled at the chateau under excellent conditions before sending them to their final destination. A visit of our facilities will allow you to discover the two-tiered wooden vats dating from the XIXth century that have been kept, together with the rest of the equipment from the same era. Every visitor is invited to travel back in time.
