Chateau Lamothe-Vincent, Bordeaux Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2023, France
Here’s the detail; soft pruning. Debudding. Large surface trellising. Harvest sorting out at the cellar. Low temperature skin contact maceration. Pneumatic sequential pressing. Cold settling on must deposits and cool temperature fermentation (14 to 18°C). Two to six months’ ageing on spent lees with stirring. Low dose fining and cold stabilization. Tangential filtration, then on cartridge during nitrogen protected bottling.
Fabien says; ’Pale lemon colour with green tints. Brims with citrus, exotic fruits, pear and mineral aromas and flavours. Good balance between acidity and roundness, structured and fleshy. Long on the finish.’
Situated in the arguably unfashionable Entre-Deux-Mers to the east of Bordeaux, away from the more famous Left and Right Banks with their expensive Chateaux, comes this beacon of quality. The estate is fully organic and meticulous attention to detail and commitment to the environment at all stages of the development of the wines from the vineyard via the fermentation vats and oak barrels to the bottles is what makes Chateau Lamothe-Vincent such a magical place. Co-owner Fabien Vincent is 2024 Bordeaux Winemaker of the Year whilst brother Christophe works the vineyards. He aims to make his best terroirs shine, and just as an attentive father would do with all his children, he continuously monitors every vine.
