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.
The 2021 vintage is rated 92/100 by A. Galloni "La Dauphine 2021 is a real success. Deep, fleshy and super expressive, the 2021 has a lot to offer. Luscious black cherries, plums, mocha, liquorice, dried herbs and incense are nicely amplified in this medium-weight but tasty Fronsac. What a delight." (February 2024)
