Château de la Dauphine Fronsac 2022 | 0,375 Liter

"A great effort, the 2022 de la Dauphine is a blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. It reveals aromas of spices, dark berries and licorice, followed by a juicy, tense and medium-bodied palate built around a nice calcareous texture and a fresh, fruity finish."
89-91/100 Punkte

"Fine tannins with creamy texture and a crisp finish. Medium body. Racy and refined. Hints of chalk at the end."
92-93/100 Punkte

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zarte Kräuterwürze, dunkle Waldbeeren, frische Kirschen, kandierte Orangenzesten sind unterlegt. Frisch, elegant, rotbeerig, lebendiger Säurebogen, energisch und anhaf- tend, gute Länge, ein facettenreicher Speisenbegleiter."
93/100 Punkte

"The 2022 Château de la Dauphine has a very ripe and generous bouquet with iodine-infused blue fruit, showy and opulent but retains sufficient delineation and freshness. The palate is medium-bodied with a saline entry, fine acidity and gentle grip. There's a classically styled tobacco and black pepper-tinged finish. Commendable in terms of substance and length, this should age with style."
