BKWine TV: [F] Ch Fourcas-Dupré, Patrice Pagès

http://www.bkwine.com/wine_tours/wine... --- Interview with Patice Pagès, owner of Château Fourcas Dupré in Listrac, Médoc, Bordeaux, France.

It is a family owned winery that his father bought in 1970. The French chateau is one of those that have been classified as Cru Bourgeois claret.
47 hectares of vines.

2007: an outstandingly charming vintage. Very elegant.
2006: a completely different vintage. A much more classic vintage. More structured and more tannin.
2005: Now in bottle since a few months. A great vintage, that almost approaches a definition of what wine should be, almost a perfect wine. Justifiably hailed as a great vintage by the markets.

M. Pagès aims to always do a bit better. There is always something that can be improved.

The key for a great wine is to harvest great grapes. And what are great grapes? Well, it is ripe grapes.

Language is French [F].
