A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, our wine translates into an aromatic complexity that is both fine and robust. The rather intense red fruit notes are enlivened by a subtle spicy touch. Its purple adornment and elegant roundness give it a certain sensitivity, while its solid structure, its chewiness, as well as its fleshy side, give it a powerful character.

Red berry fruit on the nose, with nutmeg, cardamom and bark notes, too. Fresh and spicy on the palate with a medium body, bright acidity and fine, elegant tannins.

Dark currant and cherry notes show a lightly steeped edge, while tobacco and roasted cedar notes weave around. The warm, earth-tinged finish has good flesh for the vintage. Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through 2032.
Wine Advocate

Offering up aromas of cherries and berries framed by a generous application of creamy new oak, the 2021 La Vieille Cure is medium to full-bodied, fleshy and ample, with lively acids and a vanillin-inflected finish. It's a creditable effort from this unabashedly modern-styled Fronsac estate.
