Château de La Dauphine announces the takeover of its business by the LABRUNE family, thus allowing the continuation of the efforts undertaken over the last fifteen years by its previous owner, the HALLEY family.
Château de La Dauphine owns and operates a vineyard of around forty hectares in AOC Fronsac and produces approximately 200,000 bottles per year. The Premier Vin of Château de La Dauphine is recognized by professionals and the press as one of the highest quality and most consistent wines in the Libourne region.
Since taking over Château de La Dauphine in December 2000, Mr Jean HALLEY, who died in 2011, and his son Guillaume have undertaken major investments to highlight the quality of the terroir and contribute to the reputation of the estate
Château de La Dauphine 2016
A harmonious, generous wine, characterized, like Château de La Dauphine itself, by elegance and complexity.
Produced with the vines that grow on the hillsides, this wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels with 30% renewed each year, and has a substantial capacity to improve further with age.
The color is an intensely deep purple. The nose, open, expresses a lovely fruit, mainly wild strawberries and ripe morello cherries. The palate is ample, delicious and smooth with notes of fruit and spices on the length. The wine has a beautiful body which promises a very nice evolution given the potential of the vintage.
