Château Dalem – Fronsac – Red – 2020:

 

Château Dalem: A Right Bank Powerhouse from Fronsac

Château Dalem stands as a benchmark for the Fronsac appellation, offering a luxury Bordeaux experience without the prohibitive price tag of its Pomerol and Saint-Émilion neighbors. Located on the region’s finest clay-limestone slopes, this Merlot-dominant wine is crafted for both immediate enjoyment and long-term cellaring. It is consistently recognized by critics for its intensity and elegance.

Tasting Profile (Typical Vintage)

• Color: Deep, intense garnet.
• Nose: Complex and sophisticated, featuring rich black fruit (blackberry, dark cherry), layered with notes of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla from careful oak aging.
• Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated, yet impeccably balanced. It delivers velvety, silky tannins and a refreshing mineral lift that leads to a long, persistent finish.

Pairing & Serving Tips

This is a serious wine that demands a serious meal. Serve at 60-64°F (15.5-18°C). We strongly recommend decanting for 60-90 minutes to allow the aromas to fully integrate and express themselves.

• Suggested Pairings: Grilled Ribeye Steak, Truffle Mushroom Pasta, Beef Wellington, Aged Hard Cheeses.
