This shows focus and linear tension for the appellation. Blackberry, blueberry and wet-earth character. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish. - James Suckling

A strong performance, the 2021 de la Dauphine impressed me on each of the three occasions I tasted it. Exhibiting aromas of cherries, berries, pencil shavings and loamy soil, it's medium to full-bodied, supple and charming, with a pretty core of fruit, soft tannins and a demonstrative, fruit-driven personality. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

The 2021 Château de La Dauphine has an energetic bouquet of perfumed black cherries, cassis fruit and light violet aromas; there’s good presence here. The palate is quite structured, delivering insistent grip, impressive salinity and a very harmonious finish. It might just lack a bit of persistence, but otherwise this is a very fine Fronsac - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
