Our oenologists' opinion
Powerful wine with potential
The nose, yet to open, reveals smoky, burnt wood aromas, complemented by hints of pepper and boxwood.
The wine's balance is fairly full-bodied, dominated by notes of burnt wood and raw tannins, lacking fat or body.
The finish is short and rather dry.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

CHÂTEAU LAMOTHE BERGERON
Considered one of the main Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in the 19th century, Lamothe Bergeron remains today a reference in the Haut-Médoc.
Since 2009, it has been owned by the H. Mounier & Hardy cognac houses, and in 2015, the château was completely restored after 18 months of work.
Terroir: On a surface area of 77 hectares, of which 67 are planted with vines, the vineyard sits on Garonne gravel.
Viticulture: The winemakers pay special attention to vineyard work: sustainable farming, double Guyot pruning, green harvesting, leaf thinning, and cover cropping depending on the parcel.
Vinification: Vinification in thermoregulated stainless steel tanks. Aging for 12 to 16 months in barrels (30% new wood).
