Chateau Sancrit Fugu [2018] 750ml, red

Stylish wine produced from south-facing fields and intense calcareous soil

Château Saint-Critte was founded by the first owner, Vincent Saint-Critte, and has been family-run for three generations.The current owner is Florence Prudhomme, who hails from Chateau Yon-Figeac in Saint-Emilion. I'm a woman. She became the owner when the chateau was sold in 2003. Currently, we are making the most of the chateau's wonderful terroir to produce supple wines full of fruit flavors unique to women.

Great location and strong calcareous soil

Located in Saint-Andre-de-Cusac, on the right bank of the Dordogne River, between Fronsac and Bourg, the 23-hectare vineyard of Cincrit is said to have a "cold terroir" in addition to its prime location, with all fields facing south. It has one of the strongest calcareous soils in the area. Château Cincrit was the ideal terroir to express the wine that Florence was aiming for, ``a wine with a firm structure and rich fruit flavor.'' Because many old trees remain in the field, the average yield is naturally kept at 40hl/ha. In addition, we have adopted the rut raisonné cultivation method in an effort to bring out the charm of the terroir to its fullest. The winery as a whole is committed to environmental conservation and has obtained ISO 14001 certification for its environmental management system. Annual production is only 60,000 bottles.

Fascinated by the chateau's wonderful terroir, she invited Nicolas Dubdic, a Burgundian winemaker who had previously been involved in winemaking at Chateau Yon Figeac, to become the winemaker, and worked to reform the chateau. Nicolas introduced unique brewing methods, such as the use of Burgundian barrels, especially large barrels (400L) that are not very common in Bordeaux, and gave shape to Florence's wines. Nicola then left the chateau and since 2009 she has been making all the wine herself. She keeps trying to do what she wants to do and releases items one after another with innovative ideas. The wines are always strongly fruit-expressed, with a very feminine softness, but with a rich minerality derived from the calcareous soils. Chateau Cincrit is a winery that stands out from other chateaus and can be called the pearl of Bordeaux.

An advanced cuvée named Fougue (passion). An attractive wine with a deep aroma from barrel aging and a plump, smooth texture.
