"While the 2014 vintage wasn't always the easiest for the Chombarts, it was a particularly felicitous one, as evidenced by this admirable wine, with its deep, brilliant color, to which the Merlot (80%) brings a suave, fruity edge to the nose that harmonizes perfectly with fresher, vanilla and menthol notes. Supple, fleshy, rich, ample and elegant, the palate is supported by sumptuous tannins to create a full-bodied, racy whole". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine noté (guide 2019) Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
Château Lamothe's origins date back to the 16th century, and it has been owned by the same family since 1956. Today, the 80-hectare vineyard is run by Anne Neel and her children, Maria and Damien Chombart. They have enlarged the vineyard and installed impressive underground galleries in the cellars. The Valentine cuvée is made with care and respect for classic balance. It crosses the vintages while remaining true to its style.

About the domain :
Established at the top of a clay-limestone hillside, Lamothe de Haux extends its vineyards over 77 ha, including the Ch. Manos, dedicated to Cadillacs, acquired in 1991. Since 1956, the estate has been passed down through four generations of women. Today, it is run by Maria and Damien Chombart.
