Château Fourcas Hosten: Listrac-Médoc's Definitive Cru Bourgeois

As a leading estate in the Listrac-Médoc appellation, Château Fourcas Hosten delivers a powerful yet elegant expression of classic Left Bank Bordeaux. Its unique terroir-combining deep Pyrenean gravel (ideal for Cabernet Sauvignon) and clay-limestone (perfect for Merlot)-imparts a distinctive complexity. The property is managed with a commitment to environmental stewardship (certified Organic), ensuring the wine is a pure reflection of its historic roots and modern excellence.

Tasting Notes: The Listrac Signature

• Colour: A deep, rich ruby hue with a vibrant edge.
• Nose: An aromatic tapestry of concentrated blackcurrant and red plum, intertwined with spicy notes of pepper, elderberry, and a classic hint of cedar and graphite from oak aging.
• Palate: Structured and medium-to-full-bodied. The wine boasts a generous core of fruit, framed by fine-grained, elegant tannins that provide excellent grip and age-worthiness. Its balance and refreshing finish make it a true pleasure to drink.

Food Pairing & Service

This sophisticated claret demands a dish with substance. Serve at 17-18°C (63-65°F). A youthful bottle benefits from being decanted to soften the tannins and enhance the aromatic profile. Perfect for a grand Sunday Roast or a formal dinner.
