3*Étoile

Hachette

“While the 2014 vintage wasn’t always the easiest for the Chombarts, it proved to be particularly successful, as evidenced by this admirable wine, with its deep, brilliant color. The Merlot (80%) lends the nose a smooth, fruity character that harmonizes perfectly with fresher notes of vanilla and mint. Supple, full-bodied, rich, expansive, and elegant, the palate is supported by sumptuous tannins, creating a full-bodied and refined wine.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

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 lineup)

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 balances. It spans multiple vintages while remaining true to its style.

About the wine:

While the 2014 vintage wasn’t always the easiest for the Chombarts, it proved to be particularly successful, as evidenced by this admirable wine, with its deep, brilliant color. The Merlot (80%) lends the nose a smooth, fruity character that harmonizes perfectly with fresher notes of vanilla and mint. Supple, full-bodied, rich, expansive, and elegant, the palate is underpinned by sumptuous tannins, creating a full-bodied and distinguished wine.

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 and across four generations, the estate has been passed down through the women of the family. Today, it is led by Maria and Damien Chombart.
