Chateau de la Dauphine 31 hectares vineyard is one of the most beautiful in Fronsac appellation. The 2011 vintage is 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
The wine reveals delicious red fruits, spices, and lovely mineral sharpness. The palate offers medium-bodied, alluring, and relatively fleshy texture, as well as freshness from a mix of roses, pepper, and black fruit flavours. The attack is elegant, with quite supple yet tense tannins.
