Description
In a nutshell:
A proper claret with backbone and a hint of old leather - the sort that makes you feel rather distinguished.
The lowdown:
Imagine strolling through a woodland clearing on a damp autumn day: there's earthiness here, a hint of wild mushrooms and that nostalgic scent of fallen leaves. Take a sip, and you'll find dark berry fruit wrapped in a subtle smokiness. This is the signature of a classically crafted Haut-Médoc red. In this corner of Bordeaux, nestled close to the Gironde estuary, time slows its pace. The grapes, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, ripen gently. Winemakers use age-old traditions, carefully maturing the wine in oak barrels. The result? A wine of structure and depth, with those delightful savoury notes woven through the fruit. Pour it generously; it likes a little air to reveal its charms.
The Producer:
Château Lamothe-Cissac, made by Domaines Fabre stands as a testament to the vision and dedication of two generations of the Fabre family. In 1964, Gabriel Fabre revitalised a neglected property, breathing new life into a historic estate. Today, his son Vincent carries on this legacy, overseeing 33 hectares of meticulously maintained vineyards planted on the clay-limestone and gravel soils that define the Haut-Médoc terroir. Situated near St Estèphe and Pauillac, the estate benefits from an ideal microclimate and soil composition that contribute to the production of a classic Left Bank claret.
When to drink:
A classic Bordeaux best enjoyed with a hearty Sunday roast, its rich tannins and cassis notes the perfect counterpoint to the savoury meat.
Suitable for Vegetarians
