Château de La Dauphine – Fronsac – Red – 2016:

 

Château La Dauphine is more than just a wine-it is a royal legacy captured in a bottle. Situated on the clay-limestone plateaus of the Fronsac appellation, this is one of the most distinguished Right Bank Bordeaux estates, celebrated for its full commitment to Organic and Biodynamic farming.

Every vintage is a showcase of exceptional terroir and state-of-the-art winemaking (featuring a gravity-fed cellar), delivering a pure, concentrated, and age-worthy expression of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Tasting Notes (85% Merlot – 15% Cabernet Franc)

• Color: Deep, brilliant garnet red.
• Nose: Intense and complex, led by ripe dark fruits (blackberry, plum) and cherry, elegantly layered with vanilla, toasted oak, and sweet spice from barrel aging.
• Palate: A smooth entry leading to a dense, yet refined structure. The tannins are silky, balanced by a refreshing minerality. The finish is long, harmonious, and persistent.

Pairing & Serving

This cellar-worthy wine benefits greatly from decanting for up to 3 hours. Serve at 63°F (17°C).

• Suggested Pairings: Prime Rib Roast, Sliced Beef with Morels, Venison, Truffle Pecorino Cheese, Bolognese Lasagna.
