Estimated value
Buying options
Tasting notes
Full bottle 1,267 g. Mainly Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon. Relatively pale garnet. Neat nose, good balance and freshness – no excess ripeness here. Light tannins. Very digestible. Classic Médoc without that much intensity. You could drink this already! (JR)

The 2019 Fourcas-Dupré continues to show well, unwinding in the glass with aromas of cassis, sweet spices, loamy soil and violets. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and concentrated, with lively acids and a youthfully firm, typically Listrac finish, it will reward a little patience with real depth and plentitude.
Spiced currants, red plums, sweet spice, and cedary herbs all show in the 2019 Château Fourcas Dupre, a medium-bodied, rounded, charming, balanced 2019. It's another quality Listrac that will drink nicely for 7-8 years at a minimum.
