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 embodies the reliable charm of the Haut-Médoc in a bottle. Tucked away amidst the region's more famous names, it's a place where classic Bordeaux flavours and a sense of history come together. The estate's gravel-strewn vineyards are the key ideal territory for Cabernet Sauvignon and its blending partners. Think of their wines as a walk through a well-tended garden: blackcurrant and red berry aromas, a whisper of cedarwood, perhaps a touch of autumnal leafiness. There's a lovely sense of structure here, a firm but fine-grained backbone that speaks of the Médoc's pedigree. This isn't a wine that will shout for attention, but it doesn't need to. Lamothe-Cissac isn't about fireworks; it's about honest, age-worthy claret with a traditional heart. Its charm lies in its understated elegance, the quiet confidence that comes from a deep understanding of place. If you crave a taste of classic, no-nonsense Bordeaux, this estate offers a delicious and reliable choice.
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
