Tasting notes

The wines of Château Lamothe-Cissac are a deep ruby red colour in their youth. Upon aeration, a wide aromatic array develops; aromas of fresh red berries, cassis and baked fruit meld with sweet spice. The subtle toasty, vanilla oak nuances are already very well-integrated. On the palate, this wine displays fine balance with supple tannins leading into a fine, delicately structured finish. An elegant wine with the potential to develop complex notes of leather, game and undergrowth with additional time in cellar. Worth discovering!

Producer

DUCLOT

Vinification and aging

The harvest is 100% destemmed. Modern temperature-controlled vats perfectly suited for the vinification of fine red Bordeaux wines. 2 to 3 daily pump-overs to optimize the colour and tanin extraction from the skins. 4-6 week maceration. Micro-oxygenation in vat to increase the tannic structure and colour intensity. Aged for 12-months in oak. In order to clarify and oxygentate the wine, the racking processs is repeated several times during aging depending on the tasting results.

Terroir

The gravelly subsoil is covered with a clayey limestone topsoil in some areas and a clayey gravel topsoil in other areas.
