The Fourcas Hosten 2000 is a red Bordeaux wine from the Listrac-Médoc appellation, a Cru Bourgeois estate with a history dating back to the 19th century. This vintage is composed of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, reflecting the estate`s focus on blending. The vineyards, spanning 46 hectares, benefit from a mix of clay-limestone and gravel soils. The wine reveals notes of dark fruits, alongside a firm spine of tannins and a restrained acidity, indicative of its structured character and potential for ageing.
