Château Lamothe Château LAMOTHE - Liquoreux - 2009

The 2009 aged 26 months in oak barrels reveals itself slowly to the olfaction, around fresh fruits (apricot) and white flowers. Ample and persistent, the palate is oriented towards pear and honey, and reveals a very successful balance between acidity and liquor. A harmonious bottle, to be served today as well as in three to five years, with cheese or fruit pie. *(Guide Hachette des vins 2014) Full and round (2017-2032). 15/20 (Guide d'achat des Crus/RVF-septembre 2013) Beautiful golden yellow color. Nose opening slowly into a bouquet of dried flowers, citrus fruits. In the mouth a very concentrated attack, an evolution that remains fresh just like the finish. A well born vintage that will gain in complexity and length. 91/100 - (Gilbert et Gaillard 2013 -May 2012) Golden yellow in color, exudes power and structure, with aromas of candied fruits and spices, with a hint of brioche bread on the palate, with a long finish. (Guide Dussert-Gerber 2013) 90-91/100 - (Gilbert & Gaillard Wine Guide International 2010) 90-92/100 - (Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide) It's the wood that takes over a bit today with notes of pine and clove. Behind this veil appear notes of sage, honey, apricot on a warm finish. 15,5/20 - (GAULTMILLAU - June-July-August 2010) Reducing, pear, dense, complex, long, fine, beautiful persistence. Good potential. 16/20 - (Le Point - Spécial vins- 6 mai 2010) The whole of the great wine will be aged for twenty four months in barrels of a wine from Yquem or Guiraud. Only the heart of the harvest (70% of the volume) will produce Château Lamothe.85% Semillon, 10% Sauvignon, 5% Muscadelle for this full and very round wine. 14,5-15,5/20 (La Revue du Vin de France- May 2010)
