Owner's words
The 2023 vintage at Château Fourcas Dupré was marked by warm conditions, with irregular rainfall distributed throughout the growing season. Merlot harvesting began early, on September 15, resulting in dense cuvées with deep color. The Cabernet grapes benefited from a beautiful Indian summer; they are rich, intense, and offer a lovely aromatic palette combining freshness and full ripeness. Château Fourcas Dupré 2023 is the first vintage to be vinified in the brand-new winery
