The 2017 Fourcas-Dupré has a light red cherry and cranberry scented bouquet with touches of vanilla and tobacco. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannin and feels pleasantly fresh in the mouth. There is nothing overly complex here, but it deserves applause for the harmony on the finish. It will constitute and early-drinking Listrac.
Fourcas-Dupré is a relatively unknown Cru Bourgeois which lies off the beaten track, although vines have been grown here since Count Jean-Baptiste Lynch first owned the estate in the 18th century. It achieves the enviable balance of quality and value and is one of the top estates in Margaux which has a growing reputation. Its quality has long been recognised by its rank as a Cru Bourgeois, the quality level just below Bordeaux’s Grand Cru Classé estates. Fourcas-Dupré sits on a hill at the commune’s highest point and its vineyards surround it in a single block. Its elevated position allows the vines to escape damaging conditions like frost which affect the region's lowlands, making it one to watch even in weaker vintages.
