WINE DESCRIPTION
Château Fleur La Mothe Médoc is typically made from an equal blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with a small proportion of Petit Verdot depending on the vintage. The old vines that supply this wine are planted on clay-limestone, gravel and sandy soils. Grapes are harvested and sorted before being crushed and transferred to vats to begin fermentation. Maturation occurs in oak barrels for between 10 to 15 months, a proportion of which are new, to provide sweet oak spices that complement the dark fruit profile.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Château Fleur La Mothe Médoc shimmers in the glass with a deep ruby appearance.On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, accompanied by hints of cedar, tobacco, and a touch of vanilla from oak aging. The palate is well-structured framed by fine-grained tannins and driven by a core of trenchant acidity that lends freshness and drinkability to the wine. In terms of flavor profile, this wine displays flavors of dark fruits such as blackberry and blackcurrant, along with notes of graphite and earthiness. The oak influence adds layers of complexity, contributing to a long and lingering finish.
