Château L'ISLE FORT
The "Cuvée Précieuse" box set
- 2018
- Bordeaux Supérieur red
L'Isle Fort is known for producing "one of the most elegant and gourmet Bordeaux Supérieur" as Mr. Bettane so rightly wrote. With vineyard management worthy of a classified growth (leaf removal, green harvesting, etc.), coupled with the supervision of Mr. Derenoncourt in the cellar, everything is done to ensure high precision viticulture.
On the 9 ha of the vineyard, made up of a gravel plateau (planted with Cabernet Sauvignon) and south-facing clay-limestone slopes (planted with Merlot and Cabernet Franc), L'Isle Fort has isolated 1.9 ha: 48% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon.
With a vinification guided by the respect of natural expressions (in non-certified organic culture), this "Cuvée précieuse" pays tribute to the best of the Entre-deux-Mers: a preserved environment in which woods, meadows, lakes, rivers and vineyards constitute an ecosystem of great wealth.
Offered in a set of six bottles of the same wine, but dressed with six different labels.
The 2016 collection is an assortment of six bottles of the same wine beautifully dressed in six different labels.

A 7.5 hectare Petit Cru in the Entre-deux-Mers at the gateway to Bordeaux, where Stéphane Derenoncourt has carte blanche to conduct precision viticulture. We fully agree with Mr. Bettane: "L'Isle Fort produces one of the most elegant and gourmet Bordeaux Supérieurs that can be found".
