🏰🍷 The oldest property in the Médoc region, Chateau de Lamarque
The family's history dates back to when Garison de Lamarque built the original fortified castle in the 11th century to protect the region from Viking invasions. Later, during the reign of Britain's Henry V, the Duke of Gloucester took up residence at the castle but, when the French regained the lands in the 15th century, after the "Hundred Years' War", vineyards were established, ushering in the chateau's long association with w**e production.
From the 16th century (until the early 1800s) the Fumel side of the family were owners of Chateau Haut-Brion, Chateau Margaux and Chateau Brane-Mouton (later Mouton Rothschild), so they definitely were in the know when it came to picking out excellent properties in Bordeaux!
The current family are the 25th generation at the chateau and their w**es are highly critically acclaimed around the world 🌍
🍷The W**es…
Chateau de Lamarque, Haut Medoc, 2020
🍇 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot
A well-structured, ripe w**e with black currant fruits, underlined by the w**e's tannins and acidity.
Donjon de Lamarque, Chateau de Lamarque, 2022
🍇60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon
The "second w**e" of Chateau Lamarque, produced from younger vines in the vineyard.
Delicious mulberry, blackberry, cherry and blackcurrant notes complement earthy and leathery undertones. Finishes with mellow vanilla, cedar and smoke.
