Chateau Le Vieux Fort, Medoc 2020
GOLD MEDAL: Feminalise
94 POINTS: Wine Direct Tasting Team
"....this wine reveals aromas of macerated fruits with a hint of mint, lifted by roasted notes. Generous and rich on the palate, with relatively firm tannins that will soften over time. A highly characterful, top value Cru Bourgeois!"
- Wine Enthusiast Magazine
Château Le Vieux Fort is ideally located at the tip of the Médoc in the district of Valeyrac, near the Gironde estuary and Atlantic Ocean. Since 1925, the Bergey family has guided the history of the estate, which today is headed up by the 4th generation. The terroir is typical of the Médoc and comprises of three very different blocks of vines, allowing multiple blending possibilities. As with most successful contemporary Bordeaux's tighter control over yields, including increased planting densities and green harvest produces something that preforms well above its status in the Bordeaux pyramid. This is a classic Cru Bourgeois, one full of character, flavour and charm.
