Chateau Lafont Fourcat 2014

Bordeaux, FranceThis Entre-Deux-Mers chateau was bought in 1993 by Paul Marie Morillon, the advisor to Chateaux Ausone, Yquem and La Mondotte. The hilltop village of Pujols looks across the Dordogne river valley, facing the hillside opposite St Emilion. A rustic, mod little Claret, this is merlot splashed with malbec, with pressed blackberry, boysenberry, black plum, brown spices on a firm, strict, yet simple, stainless-steel palate. The finish ends choppily with a bitter herbal edge and lingers with some raised sweetness. Skirt steak and smashed potatoes, meet your match.Tasted: 30 January 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
