Chateau De La Dauphine Fronsac 2018
Grape Varietals & Region: Blend of 85% Merlot & 15% Cabernet Franc from the Fronsac appellation on the right bank of Bordeaux, France. The diverse soil types and their characteristics require meticulous care, with no room for approximations or easy choices. Over its 350 years, the property has gradually increased in size and now has 53 hectares of vines. It is one of the largest properties in the Libourne region.
Taste Profile: The deep garnet-purple colored de la Dauphine delivers notes of fruitcake, plum pudding and Chinese five spice with touches of prunes, tobacco and dusty soil. Full-bodied, with a firm, chewy backbone and plenty of expressive berry preserves and spicy layers, it finishes earthy
Winemaking Process: Produced with the vines that grow on the hillsides, this wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels with 30% renewed each year, amphoras, and bigger tasks.
