Lots of crushed black and blue fruit on the nose with licorice and crushed gravel, too. Hints of tobacco. It’s full-bodied with firm, tight-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Balanced and precise. Tight at the finish. Tannins are integrated and mouth filling. The grow nicely on the palate. 68% cabernet sauvignon and 32% merlot. Try from 2024.

Very fresh and silky in feel, with a bright display of raspberry coulis and cassis notes that glides through, infused gently with rooibos tea, incense and savory details through the caressing finish. Understated style, but there's a lot to like. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Drink now through 2034. 10,000 cases made.

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, 2018 Dauzac comes galloping out of the glass with powerful notes of blackcurrant cordial, stewed black plums and blueberry compote, plus suggestions of violets, clove oil and underbrush. The medium to full-bodied palate is jam-packed with ripe black fruits, framed by firm, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing long with a peppery kick.

Château Dauzac
Château Dauzac is home to 42 hectares of vines which are planted to a single block on deep gravel soils. Thomas Michel Lynch acquired Dauzac in 1740 and is responsible for establishing the reputation of this beautiful, large estate. In 1885, Ernest David, manager of both Dauzac and Ducru-Beaucaillou, perfected the Bordeaux mixture (copper sulphate and hydrated lime) here in conjunction with Professor Alexis Millardet in order to fight mildew and other fungi. The M.A.I.F. purchased this fine estate in 1988 and handed over management to André Lurton, who became President of the Executive Board in 1992. His daughter, Christine Lurton de Caix took over for him in 2005. The cellars were totally renovated in 2004 and now feature state-of-the-art winemaking equipment. The grapes are hand-picked into small crates and sorted twice (before and after destemming). The wine is aged in new barrels.
