Château de La Dauphine sits high on the Fronsac plateau with 53 hectares of vines, 40 of which are dedicated to the Grand Vin. The estate is certified organic and follows a biodynamic philosophy. The vineyard is planted with about 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc on clay‑limestone soils with Fronsac molasse and asteriated limestone.

On the palate Château de La Dauphine is juicy and structured yet silky, with ripe tannins, vibrant acidity and a long, clearly terroir‑driven finish.
