AOC Fronsac Blend: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc Ageing: 12 months in 30% new barrels Score : 93/100 james suckling A deep vermilion colour with a developed and elegant nose of undergrowth and fresh truffles. The palate is ample and mellow, the tannins are melted and silky, a very fine substance in short. The finish is beautifully fresh and reminiscent of liquorice. A harmonious and full-bodied wine, with an elegance and complexity that is the image of Château de La Dauphine.
