Tasting notes
A classic Bordeaux with blackcurrant, ripe fruit, gentle spice and a hint of vanilla. Balanced and savoury, with soft tannins and an elegant finish.
Producer profile
Gabriel Fabre bought Château Lamothe-Cissac in 1964 and rebuilt its vineyards and winery. His son Vincent now manages the family estate, with vineyards near Pauillac and Saint-Estèphe.
Viticulture and winemaking
Vines grow on gravel, clay and limestone soils. Destemmed grapes ferment in temperature-controlled vats, with regular pump-overs and extended skin contact. French oak maturation adds complexity.
Food pairing
Serve with grilled beef, roast lamb or firm, mature cheeses.
