Château Fourcas Hosten – Listrac-Médoc – Red – 2020:

 

Château Fourcas Hosten: Listrac-Médoc’s Structural Elegance

Château Fourcas Hosten is a benchmark of the Listrac-Médoc appellation, representing the ideal balance of power and elegance expected from a great Bordeaux. Sourced from two distinct terroirs-Pyrenean gravel for Cabernet Sauvignon and clay-limestone for Merlot-this Cru Bourgeois Supérieur offers unique depth. The estate, owned by the Momméja family (of the Hermès luxury group), is dedicated to environmental excellence (Organic Farming), ensuring a pure, authentic expression of its land.

Tasting Notes: A Profile in Power & Finesse

• Color: Deep ruby red with carmine reflections.
• Nose: Complex and classic, bursting with intense black fruit aromas (blackcurrant, blackberry), layered with notes of pepper, cedar, tobacco, and subtle earthy hints (truffle, forest floor) that develop beautifully with age.
• Palate: Full-bodied and well-defined. The palate is structured and dense, supported by silky, yet firm, elegant tannins. It offers excellent volume, remarkable balance, and a long, persistent finish, confirming its superb aging potential.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This high-caliber Listrac-Médoc is the perfect partner for refined cuisine. Best served between 63°F and 65°F (17-18°C), ideally decanted for an hour when young. It will elevate any fine dining occasion.
