“Sauvignon and Sémillon come together in this bright pale yellow cuvée with lovely emerald highlights. They offer a lingering bouquet of citrus and exotic fruits, accented by floral notes. A light effervescence highlights the harmonious freshness of this highly aromatic wine.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) A real bargain!

Rated estate (2019 guide) Selected (An estate or winery that impressed us with one or more of its wines, though we are unable to offer a general assessment of the style of its entire range)
About the estate:
The origins of Château Lamothe date back to the 16th century, and it has been owned by the same family since 1956. Today, the 80-hectare vineyard is managed by Anne Neel and her children, Maria and Damien Chombart. They have expanded the vineyard and built impressive underground galleries in the cellars. The Valentine cuvée is crafted with care and in keeping with traditional balance. It spans the vintages while remaining true to its style.

About the estate:
Perched atop a clay-limestone hillside, Lamothe de Haux’s vineyards span 77 hectares, including Château Manos—dedicated to the Cadillac grape variety—which was acquired in 1991. Since 1956, the estate has been passed down through four generations of women. Today, it is led by Maria and Damien Chombart.

Review by Mr. OLIVIER R. Posted on March 2, 2020
A crisp white wine driven by the Sauvignon's tension and aromatic profile. Frank and lively, it nevertheless lacks a bit of structure and depth. Best enjoyed as an aperitif.
