Other Info:

Located on a superb, exceptional terroir, with hilltops of ancient gravelfrom the Pyrenees and Garonne, Château la Fortune has great character and elegance. The little parcel of 3 hectares is situate between Chateau Lascombes and Chateau Labegorce. Having developed expertise and gained experience on many other properties, the Helfrich family, who have managed Château la Fortune since 2014, have applied a highly tailored approach, in order to bring out the best in this great wine. With Michel Rolland, this talented team has produced a high quality wine with tremendous finesse.

Complex on the nose, dominated by persistent fruit with aromas of black fruit and cocoa. Supple on the palate, well balanced, with aromas of blackberry and liquorice. Attractive, long finish.

Press:

'The diminutive Château la Fortune is part of a portfolio overseen by the Helfrich family. The consultant Michel Rolland has a close eye on the style, which is rich and complex, with layers of blackcurrant, cocoa and licorice. Lay it down or decant promptly and enjoy with a roast.' - Will Lyons, The Sunday Times
