"What a personality!"
"This excellent value-for-money wine really shines . Fresh and full-bodied, it’s bursting with sweet, ripe blackcurrants, bright, crisp plums, and black cherries. Round, smooth, and polished, with structure and energy in the long finish. ” (The Wine Cellar Insider Jeff Leve 2022) - Delivery in a wooden case is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on country and selected shipping method)

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Patrice Pagès skillfully manages a contiguous estate of about 40 hectares, planted on slightly clayey gravel soil. The wines are generally austere and reserved in their youth but gain elegance over the years.
Decanter
Wine rated (2020 guide) 91/100
About wine:
A bit more austere than expected when it was first released, but it has character and is a subtle Listrac with plenty of confident black fruit and blackberry notes.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)
About the estate:
This estate, founded in the 18th century, took on its current name in 1843, when Maître Dupré, a solicitor at the Bordeaux Court of Appeal, purchased the property. Covering 43 hectares on a beautiful terroir of Pyrenean gravel, it has been owned by the Pagès family since 1970.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated estate Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)
About the estate:
The Fourcas-Dupré vineyard is planted in a single block on a beautiful gravelly hill. The estate, expertly managed by Patrice Pagès—now assisted by his brother Ghislain—produces a classic Listrac: firm, somewhat austere, sincere, and impeccably straightforward in expression. While the wines take time to develop, they retain their qualities over time, and prices remain reasonable. A new, more modern approach to winemaking is underway, and the latest vintages are promising.

Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2021 guide) 90/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About wine:
The nose is floral and intense. It features notes of violet, blackberry, and lilac, combined with hints of blackcurrant and wild strawberry, as well as touches of licorice, vanilla, and toast, along with subtle hints of cubeb pepper and a barely perceptible salty note. The palate is fruity, offering minerality, freshness, a certain smoothness, and a lively acidity. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of fresh, juicy raspberry and crisp cherry, along with lighter hints of violet and rose, combined with touches of refined minerality, lilac, cardamom, and almond, and a subtle hint of chocolate. The tannins are well-integrated.
