Under the leadership of M. Thunevin (Valandraud), La Vieille Cure presents a more greedy and less square profile than before and reveals itself as one of Fronsac's major properties.
The 2023 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 92/100 “The 2023 vintage is a resounding success, typical of Fronsac and enjoyable whilst young.”
Vinous (A. Galloni – March 2026): 92/100 “The 2023 Vieille Cure hits the palate with inky dark fruit, chocolate, new leather, licorice, gravel and incense. This bold, dense Fronsac is not exactly subtle, but it does have plenty to offer, starting with its juicy, open-knit personality. This is sure to be a crowd-pleaser."
Vinous (N. Martin - February 2026): 90/100 "The 2023 La Vieille Cure has a perfumed and comparatively floral bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and peony scents, well-defined with well-integrated oak. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit. Gentle grip, fine tension with a sapid finish, this is a solid, well-made Fronsac that should mature well in bottle."

The 2022 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2027) : 92/100 “In 2022, the wine is still closed — with a subtle nose and a rich, tight structure — but the freshness on the finish and the length suggest it will age beautifully.”
J-M Quarin (February 2025): 89/100 "Dark, intense and lively colour. The nose is moderately aromatic, fruity and chalky. Delicate on the palate, savoury and round in the middle, the wine caresses the palate before finishing on a chalky tannic note without being harsh."
