Château de La DAUPHINE Red 2024 Futures

Certified organic since 2015 and with a vineyard that is entirely biodynamic, Château de La Dauphine aims, beyond its 350 years of history, to set an example of modern winegrowing that is mindful of environmental issues. The wines, with more finesse than extraction, lack neither substance nor charm. "La Dauphine is clearly one of Fronsac's benchmarks," says Mr Galloni.

Vinous (A. Galloni): 91-93/100 "The 2024 La Dauphine is another impressive wine for the year. In 2024 La Dauphine emerges only from parcels on the limestone plateau, a decision that resulted in only the best 15% being bottled. Darkl cherry, plum, mocha, new leather, licorice and dried herbs all build in the glass, framed by mineral undertones that wrap it all up in style."

J-M Quarin : 89/100 « Couleur sombre et vive. Nez moyennement intense, au fruité mûr. Bouche pour l'instant marquée par le bois. »

Vinous (N. Martin): 90-92/100 "The 2024 La Dauphine has a pretty bouquet with light violet scents and neatly integrated oak. The palate is well balanced with supple tannins and a dash of white pepper toward the finish. This is a successful 2024."

La Revue du Vin de France : 92-93/100  « Beau vin dont se dégage immédiatement une dimension calcaire. Une trame profonde soutenue par un élevage soigné moitié foudres, moitié barriques et amphores. »
