about this wine:
Land: A plateau of limestone; bordering slopes with chalk and clay soils.
Grapes:74% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc, 4% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Bordeaux Right Bank, Appellation: Fronsac
Classification: The wines produced at Chateau la Vieille Cure are, as has been the tradition for centuries, fine wines meant for careful consumption. While they can be enjoyed young, they are best appreciated at 4 years of age and more. 10 years is normal, and 15 or even 20 years are not exceptional. With a perfect balance of fruit, aromas and tannins, they are made to be appreciated with meals but can be enjoyed at any time.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2007
The 2006 is another outstanding effort from this Fronsac estate. Dominated by its ripe Merlot component, the wine possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as notes of sweet mulberries, black cherry liqueur, underbrush, and subtle oak. Fleshy, plump, pure, and richly fruity, this medium to full-bodied sleeper of the vintage will be at its finest between 2010 and 2020.
