Château Lamothe-Cissac Cru Bourgeois
A Red wine with elegant blackcurrant and jammy fruit notes, perfect with grilled lamb
Château Lamothe-Cissac Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux, France, is a traditional Red still dry wine crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot. This elegant Bordeaux exhibits a dark ruby colour, offering aromas of blackcurrant, jammy fruits, soft spices, and vanilla. The palate is well-balanced with soft tannins and a delicate finish. Vinified with 4-6 weeks of maceration and micro-oxygenation, then aged for 12 months in French oak (25% new), it promises excellent age-worthiness, developing complex notes of leather, undergrowth, and smoke. A vegetarian-friendly choice, it pairs beautifully with grilled meats, rack of lamb, or mature hard cheeses.

Vinification
The harvest is 100% destemmed. Modern temperature-controlled vats are used for fermentation which are perfectly suited for the vinification of fine red Bordeaux wines. Two or three times daily the wine is pumped-over to optimise the colour and tannin extraction from the skins. There is then a maceration of 4-6 weeks. Micro-oxygenation is carried out in Vat to improve the tannin structure and colour intensity.
