Château Lamothe

Bordeaux

The new generation of Bordeaux wines that lives up to its ambitions

Château Lamothe is located in a privileged location at one of the highest points in Entre-Deux-Mers. Since 1873, the Vincent family have invested tirelessly to create a truly delicious Bordeaux gem of a wine. Four generations later, and the family’s key values remain the same: authenticity and progress, focusing entirely on allowing the fruit to truly shine.

Since the 90s, two brothers, Fabien and Christophe, have worked together in harmony to attain perfection. Christophe has extensively remodelled the vineyard, working on different viticultural regimes to produce ripe, healthy grapes. As for Fabien, educated at the prestigious School of Research, his insatiable thirst for experimentation has led him to explore new fields in winemaking and elevage. Their success: to have been able to combine progress and the environment, having obtained the most demanding level of certification, “High Environmental Value – Level 3”.

Tasting notes

Bordeaux red pleasure, well-rounded , sweet with a nice material with a velvety mouthfeel.

A flattering fruit-driven and highly concentrated Bordeaux wine

Behind the garnet appearance, lie intense, almost jammy, red and dark fruit notes. The wine is crunchy, rounded and full on the palate, backed by soft, refined tannins. A very well-structured Bordeaux wine, and absolutely delicious.

Thomas Drouineau, winemaker, Maison Delor
