Château Fourcas-Borie, Listrac 2016
Red Wine from France - Bordeaux
From a fine property owned by Bruno Borie of Ducru Beaucaillou from the outstanding 2016 vintage this is at the perfect point of maturity, balancing the power and dark-fruit from this warm vintage with the savoury spice and cigar notes form maturation. A blend of 68% merlot, 21% cabernet sauvignon, and 11% petit verdot with 12 months in oak of which 20% was new this is the perfect accompaniment to your Autumnal recipes. Still showing plenty of colour and depth we'd recommend decanting for an hour before drinking to really show this classy Listrac at its best.

Château Fourcas-Borie
Since the Borie family of Ducru-Beaucaillou took over this property, previously named Fourcas-Dumont, in 2009, they have made a good wine even better. It is situated in the north of Listrac, a commune in the Haut-Médoc, with around half of its 30 hectares of vineyards on the hilltops of Moulin du Bourg and Fourcas. The vines have an average age of 30 years.
The wine is the creation of Bruno Borie, a true individual, who took over much of the Borie family winemaking in 2003 when his father died. He uses temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats of various sizes which allows for different vineyard plots to be vinified separately.
The spicy, bright, well-structured Fourcas-Borie is a blend of 70% merlot with 15% each of cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. It is aged for 12 months in oak, up to half of which is new, and will keep well for between four and 10 years.

Healthy, sweet, perfumed claret with real concentration. Obviously a very good vintage. For now, or the future. JancisRobinson.com
