Vieille Cure
One of the top names leading the charge in Fronsac; this 17th century property has benefitted from the increased international attention turned upon it's appellation, and is in turn advancing the region's profile through it's own efforts. By virtue of Fronsac's soil type, la Vieille Cure produced a surprisingly elegant wine in 2003 and since then has gone from strength to strength improving it's wines and rejuvenating its cellars. With some badly needed external investment finally arriving, La Vieille Cure and its fellow Fronsac estates have a very bright future indeed.

Jeb Dunnuck (92)Deep purple-hued, the 2017 Chateau La Vieille Cure (75% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon) is a stunning success in the vintage. Notes of cassis, leafy herbs, tobacco, and spice all emerge from the glass, and this beauty is medium to full-bodied, ripe, textured, balanced, and nicely textured. With good acidity and a great finish, it's a smoking effort to drink over the coming 10-12 years. |

Decanter (94)This is intense with tons of tar and cloves against the well-defined cassis fruits and lovely vibrant violet edging. The silky texture and legs indicate generous alcohol, but this is balanced, if on the larger side. It takes its time in the glass, at first a little overpowering, but it settles into itself and has been well handled offering good ageing potential. There were new owners as of harvest 2018, as French entrepreneur Jérôme Pignard took over from American co-owners; the Gant, Ferenbach and Sachs families. |
