About the Wine

Château Lafont Fourcat is located in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, near the village of Castillon la Bataille and not far from Saint-Émilion. In 1993 the Chateau was acquired by Paul-Marie Morillon, who is also a consultant for Châteaux Ausone, Mondotte, and Yquem. The wines of Lafont Fourcat are produced with the help of Bordeaux's bad boy winemaker, Jean-Luc Thunevin, founder of highly sought-after Chateau ValandraudTwo Bordeaux mavericks have joined forces to cultivate one of the best Bordeaux values of the century. The 2018 Lafont Fourcat A Nos Amours is the ultimate definition of a wine that punches well above its weight class. What are you waiting for?

Here's what wine critic Jeb Dunnuck says about 2018 Bordeaux:

"In short, 2018 is a thrilling vintage with no shortage of legendary wines and I cannot imagine anyone who purchases these wines will be disappointed...It’s possible to find attractive, well-made, even outstanding, wines that punch well above their price points." 

Jean Luc Thunevin became a well-known figure in the wine world in less than a decade, thanks to its successful garage wine, Château Valandraud. Jean Luc aims to harvest at full maturity, he also copied the Burgundy vinification ways (pigeage…) to reach an optimum concentration. The wine is produced with a constant commitment to excellence. Like this wine.

A Nos Amours (which means "To Our Loves") is a special cuvée from Château Lafont Fourcat. Château Lafont-Fourcat is located in the Entre-Deux-Mers region, near Castillon la Bataille village and not far from Saint-Émilion. The Chateau owner is Paul-Marie Morillon, who is also a consultant for Châteaux Ausone, Mondotte, and Yquem.

Critical Reviews

 

Blackcurrant, spiced-cherry, charred-bark, black-olive, and chocolate aromas. It’s medium-bodied with firm, fine tannins. Creamy layers of ripe fruit and spice. Already delicious. Drink or hold. ~90 James Suckling

 

Lots of spiced red and black fruits, cedarwood, dried flowers, and saddle leather notes emerge from the 2018 Château Lafont-Fourcat A Nos Amours. Medium-bodied, it has terrific complexity, light tannins, and a balanced, undeniably delicious, charming style that's ideal for enjoying over the coming 5-7 years. Readers looking for a great value for near-term drinking should snatch this beauty up. ~90 Jeb Dunnuck
