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.
Bettane & Desseauve : 92/100 ♥ Coup de cœur « Le cabernet franc joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans l’assemblage et cela garnit davantage la finale, qui gagne aussi en distinction. Suavité en attaque et en milieu de bouche. »
Quarin : 87/100 « J'espérais plus ! Goûté deux fois avec frustration. La chair manque. »
Galloni : 90-92/100 « The 2023 La Dauphine is a powerful, resonant wine. Blackberry jam, spice, licorice, chocolate and lavender are some of the many notes that come alive in this succulent, opulent Fronsac. Pretty top notes from the 20% Cabernet Franc add nuance. This is beautifully rendered. »
