Château Fourcas Dupré 2024

A lively and structured Listrac wine

The estate

Maps dating from the early 13th century attest to the presence of vines at the place called "Fourcas". Following the acquisition of the estate in 1843 by Master Jean Antoine Dupré, it was renamed Château Fourcas Dupré. While the Pagés family has been producing great Listrac wines for nearly 50 years, Château Fourcas Dupré has been owned by Gérard Jicquel, a Breton entrepreneur, creator of the Beautiful Life family group and also owner of Château d’Argassac (Haut-Médoc) since 2019.

The vineyard

Located at the top of the appellation, Château Fourcas Dupré is a Listrac wine from a 60-hectare vineyard certified HVE3. The vines, averaging 35 years old, are planted on a ridge of Pyrenean gravel and clayey gravel.

Vinification and aging

For the Château Fourcas Dupré 2024, the vinification was carried out with the utmost care to preserve all the aromatic richness of the grapes. The aging is carried out for 33% in new barrels, complemented by a passage in concrete vats and stainless steel vats, thus achieving a perfect balance.
