2016 Grand Vin Blanc du Château Fourcas Dupré

A blend of 40% Semillon and 60% Sauvignon,and barrel fermented in new oak and quite delicious.

The vineyard is composed of more than 80% Pyrenean gravel, along with clayey, chalky and clay-limestone subsoils. This “Pyrenean gravel” terroir is unique in the Médoc and provides their wine with a very distinctive character – minerality, complexity, smoky and toasty notes on the palate, and finally a remarkable aptitude for ageing.
