Chateau Fourcas Dumont 2000
Chateau Fourcas-Dumont 2000 is an elegant red blend from the Listrac-Médoc appellation in Bordeaux, France. This estate is deeply rooted in Médoc history, with one of its owners descending from Ernest David, a key figure who collaborated on the development of Bordeaux mixture in the 19th century. The winery's philosophy emphasizes a serious approach to viticulture, producing well-constituted wines that reflect the unique, forest-edged terroir of the Listrac plateau, which is the highest point in the Médoc.
Wine Description
This 2000 vintage presents a sustained garnet colour and a complex sensory profile. The expressive nose is dominated by ripe red fruit aromas, particularly blackberry, beautifully integrated with toasty oak notes of vanilla and mocha. On the palate, the wine is big, full, and soft, offering a silky texture and rich tannins that have evolved into a velvety mouthfeel over time. It displays a remarkable balance between its fruit-forward character and subtle animal notes, leading to an outstandingly fresh finish. The varietal composition for this vintage is a blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Petit Verdot. The wine was aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with 30% to 50% being new wood.
