Château Fourcas Dupré is a vineyard in the Listrac-Médoc appellation located 35 km. northwest of the center of Bordeaux, in the wider Médoc region on the left bank of the Gironde estuary. The estate produces a range of red and white wines and has occasionally released a rosé. The château was established in 1844 and has been owned by the Pagès family since 1970. In 2019, it was acquired by the Breton businessman and hotelier, Gérard Jicquel.
The château is located north of the small town of Listrac-Médoc, several kilometers southwest of Saint-Julien and a similar distance northwest of Margaux. The estate covers around 46 hectares and rests on predominantly classic Médoc gravelly soil with a clay and limestone subsoil. The vineyard itself is composed of roughly equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, mixed with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The vines are on average over 30 years old.
