Tasting notes
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.

The 2016 Fourcas-Dupre has a medium garnet-purple color and nose of redcurrants, kirsch and blueberries with hints of earth and bay leaves. The palate is medium-bodied, soft, fresh and juicy.
Mid crimson. Fine smoky black fruit. Dusty finesse. Within those very fine tannins is subtle and juicy black fruit. Not generous in fruit but has real elegance in that dry, papery texture. (JH)
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. (JR)
About the producer
This estate saw a transformation when Guy Pagès bought it in 1970. His work, driving quality higher with increasing attention to detail and passion, has been continued by his son Patrice, who took over in 1985.
