Château La Vieille Cure 2015, Fronsac

CURE001
"A year in, year out value, the 2015 La Vieille Cure might just be the best yet. This full-bodied, opulent, incredibly sexy 2015 gives up loads of black currants, tobacco, Asian spices, and earth-like aromas and flavors. With low acidity, a mouth-filling, dense, sumptuous texture, and sweet tannin, it’s a downright old-world fruit bomb that’s a joy to drink. Buy a case and drink bottles over the coming decade or more." WINE SPECTATOR

Château La Vieille Cure

Tasting Notes

"The 2015 La Vieille Cure is superb. Ample and explosive on the palate, with tremendous depth, the 2015 is an arrestingly beautiful wine that never lets up. Red cherry jam, licorice, new leather, blood orange and spice all infuse this flamboyant, spectacularly rich Fronsac. What a wine!" JAMES SUCKLING

Food Matches

An ideal accompaniment to beef and venison.

Vinification

Fermented in stainless steel followed by ageing in oak barrels.

Press Comments

WINE ENTHUSIAST 94 / 100 "Dense tannins and rich black fruits mark out this ripe wine. Its tannins are cushioned by the concentrated but generous black fruits that were organically grown. The wine has great purity as well as structure"
