Château Fourcas Dupré 2012 Cuvée Hautes Terres (Listrac-Médoc)

Country: France / Cuvée Hautes Terres
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Bordeaux
Winery: Château Fourcas Dupré / Listrac-Médoc

Named after the outcropping of gravel on which the vines are planted, this second wine of Fourcas-Dupré is Merlot-based. With its smoky tannins and strong flavors of wood, it needs to fill out with the blackberry fruits that lie in the background. That won’t take long and the wine will be ready to drink from late 2016.
