Château Fourquet Castillon 2024

Pierre Lavau's Château Fourquet is situated in Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, east of Saint-Émilion on the north bank of the Dordogne, where clay and limestone soils on the higher slopes produce wines of genuine class and depth. The appellation has earned a considerable reputation in recent decades, attracting investment from several well-known Saint-Émilion proprietors who recognise its quality potential. Pierre's commitment to the environment is reflected in his HVE Level 3 certification — High Environmental Value — first achieved with the 2016 vintage.
