Full tasting note and wine making �/h2>

Ch Lamothe Cissac is a traditional Bordeaux with much elegance and savoury fruit and exhibits a dark ruby colour in the first years. The wine displays a large spectrum of aromas with notes of red and blackcurrant and jammy fruits associated with soft spices and subtle vanilla. Well-balanced palate with soft tannins and a very delicate finish. Cellaring a few years will develop a complex mix of leather, undergrowth and smoky notes.The vineyard is located party on the commune of Cissac adjacent to Pauillac and partly on the plateau of Vertheuil contiguous with Saint-Estèphe. The gravelly subsoil is covered with a clay limestone topsoil in some areas and a clay gravel topsoil in other areas.The harvest is fermented in vats perfectly suited for the vinification of fine red Bordeaux wines. Two or three times daily the wine is pumped-over to optimise the colour and tannin extraction from the skins with 6 weeks maceration.. Micro-oxygenation is carried out in Vat to improve the tannin structure and colour intensity prior to aging in French oak.

Remnants of a Roman villa have been discovered close to the Château.
