Merchant's description
Fourcas Hosten 1989 is a blend predominantly of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from the 47 hectares of vines located in the Listrac-Médoc region. The estate, renowned for its unique terroir of clay, limestone and gravel, has been managed since 2006 by brothers Laurent and Renaud Mommeja, from the Hermès family. This mature vintage presents aromas of dried fruit and earthy undertones, with a structured tannin profile.
