Very pretty plum, light spice and dried-flower character on the nose, following through to a medium body with creamy and refined tannins. Bright acidity at the end. This only needs a few years to come together and deliver a beautiful glass. Try after 2023.
Producer
Château Fourcas Hosten
Thanks to a highly unusual terroir that accounts for the wine's subtle balance, Château Fourcas Hosten has enjoyed a fine reputation for nearly two hundred years. Located in the heart of the village of Listrac, in the middle of 3-hectare English-style grounds, the 18th century manor house overlooks a clay-limestone plain where Merlot grapes express all their goodness. Further north, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc vines are very much at home on the Fourcas plateau made up of gravel. While making sure to respect centuries-old traditions and longstanding Médoc winemaking expertise, the new owners, Renaud and Laurent Momméja, are also committed to providing the most up-to-date facilities and techniques. Everything possible is done to express the character and elegance of Fourcas Hosten
