Critic reviews
"The 2023 Dalem is bright and punchy, but also understated. Crushed flowers, blood orange, mint, cinnamon and vibrant red-toned fruit grace this mid-weight Fronsac. All the elements are very nicely balanced."
Antonio Galloni, March 2026, Vinous.com
"An energetic nose of fresh, racy red berries, currants and some paprika and chalk. Pure and expressive, with medium body and firm, crunchy tannins. Linear and coiled, with a long, pristine and defined finish. More agile and vibrant than deep and rich. It grows on you with its mineral energy. Merlot and cabernet franc. Drink now or hold."

"Not tasted En Primeur, happy to catch up now, and this signs of limestone character, with its bright and vivid blueberry and loganberry fruits, and its saffron, white pepper and slate character. Boissenot Consultancy, , 30% new oak for ageing."
