Chateau Fourcas Hosten Listrac-Medoc

Bordeaux

Listrac-Médoc

Served out of magnum at a supper when selecting Mentor Week candidates, this is a briliant wine that is effortlessly drinkable, still full of primary dark fruit flavours but now with melted tannins and gentle waves of cigar box and dried herbs. Great quality, and the most popular wine around the table hands down.

Inside Bordeaux

Feathery tannins, blackberry and raspberry fruits, slim and savoury, captures a lovely mouthwatering quality on the finish, just about taming the high acidities of the vintage. Harvest 30 September  to 11 October. 3.69 pH. AT 3.15. AV 0.42. IPT 80, now owned by the Mammeja brothers of Hermès, previously by the legendary Peter Sichel, who died this year (2025) age 102. 

The 2023 Fourcas Hosten has a deep garnet-purple color. It needs a lot of shaking to wake up notes of redcurrants, fresh raspberries, and blackberries, plus nuances of dried herbs and pencil shavings. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers bright, refreshing red berry flavors, with a lightly chewy texture and a lifted finish.

The 2022 Fourcas Hosten is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a swirl or two to reveal fragrant notes of black raspberries, blackcurrant pastilles, and juicy plums, plus hints of wild sage, pencil lead, and fragrant earth. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating red and black fruit layers with ripe, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and savory.

The 2021 Fourcas Hosten is produced organically and has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It slowly emerges from the glass with notes of black cherries, mulberries, and redcurrants, plus hints of crushed rocks and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate has a good intensity of red and black berries, with earthy accents and a soft-textured, lively finish.

The 2020 Fourcas Hosten has a deep garnet-purple color. It offers a lovely purity of redcurrant and black cherry scents, with hints of menthol, graphite, and black olives, plus a waft of lavender. Light-bodied, the palate delivers a quiet intensity and a lovely harmony, with ripe, soft tannins and a mineral-laced finish.

Amatør

Rød i fargen med et brunskjær, noe visuell kjerne igjen i klokka. Floral på nesen, men lav intensitet og tydelig falmet. Lite frukt igjen i denne, den er helt klart forbi drikkevinduet sitt uansett hvor skånsomt man forsøker å åpne den gjennom flaskelufting. Lite primæraroma dessverre. Vinen er noe slank, med avslepne tanniner som gjør den behagelig sånn sett, men syren er ganske subtil. Medium hale, og det trekker mye ned. Jeg ser hva den prøver på, men denne er for gammel dessverre.
