WINE | RED WINE | BORDEAUX | FRONSACBottle of : 0.75L
Powerful character tempered with elegance
- This Fronsac displays a remarkable aromatic complexity: ripe dark fruits underpin a structure of fine-grained tannins that speak to serious winemaking. The wine possesses both earthiness and textural refinement—a duality characteristic of the finest right-bank Bordeaux.
- Château la Vieille Cure offers the quality and character of serious Fronsac without unnecessary expense. A wine of genuine substance and regularity, it rewards the discerning palate seeking authentic terroir expression.
- Whilst approachable now, this wine will develop further complexity over five to eight years in a cool cellar. Patient collectors will find the investment worthwhile as secondary flavours emerge and the tannins integrate.

Breeding
12 to 15 months in French oak barrels (approximately 30 to 50% new wood depending on the vintage)
On the eye
Deep purple, nearly black, with violet glints in its youth
On the nose
Intense and layered, dominated by very ripe dark fruits—blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry—with subtle earthiness beneath
In the mouth
A substantial wine with imposing yet fine-grained tannins. The palate shows considerable structure and grip, yet the ripe fruit sweetness enrobes the power, creating a wine of genuine mouthfeel and balance
A generous, well-bred Fronsac of exemplary consistency. It embodies the duality of the appellation: unmistakable earthiness married to modern textural elegance. Pairs well with beef brochettes, herb-roasted chicken, and regional cheeses. A wine of character and substance.
