2018 Chateau de la Dauphine Fronsac

“The 2018 Château de la Dauphine was a knockout when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a very clean, precise bouquet of shimmering blackberry and wild strawberry aromas, underlying blood orange notes coming through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, plenty of graphite-tinged black fruit and a very elegant yet long finish. Superb!”

93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous

“A delicious wine that has been well handled comprising vibrant fruits with brambles and hedgerows keeping things on the right side of slick. A good job done here with the estate retaining biodynamics even through a tough vintage. The harvest took place between 21 September 21 and 15 October. Consultant Michel Rolland and Julien Viaud. 30% new oak was used. A yield of 35hl/ha.”
