Introduction

Château Lamothe-Bergeron Haut-Médoc 2018 is a compelling expression of the Haut-Médoc appellation, a region renowned for producing structured and age-worthy red Bordeaux wines. As a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur property, Château Lamothe-Bergeron is committed to crafting wines that showcase the elegance and complexity derived from its exceptional gravelly terroir and its classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The estate has a rich history, dating back to the 18th century, and has undergone significant modernization to enhance its winemaking precision. The 2018 vintage in Bordeaux was particularly acclaimed, yielding wines of impressive richness, concentration, and ripe tannins, making this Lamothe-Bergeron a powerful yet harmonious example of its appellation’s potential and a wine poised for graceful evolution.

Character Description

The Château Lamothe-Bergeron Haut-Médoc 2018 displays a deep, opaque ruby-purple hue, indicative of its youth and intensity. It offers an intensely aromatic and generous bouquet of ripe dark fruits—blackcurrant, cassis, and black cherry—elegantly interwoven with complex notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, graphite, and a subtle hint of licorice and vanilla from its careful oak aging. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied and beautifully structured texture, with concentrated dark fruit and savory flavors mirroring the nose. It’s supported by firm, yet beautifully refined tannins that provide excellent backbone and a long, persistent finish, balanced by a vibrant acidity that ensures freshness and remarkable precision. The finish is powerful, nuanced, and gracefully aromatic, leaving a lingering impression of rich fruit, classic Bordeaux complexity, and impressive depth.

Perfect Pairings

This structured and flavorful Haut-Médoc is an exceptional partner for traditional French cuisine and other robust, hearty dishes. It pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, grilled beef tenderloin, duck confit, or slow-cooked stews like beef Bourguignon. Its firm tannins and complex savory notes also make it an ideal accompaniment to mushroom-based dishes, truffle-infused cuisine, and a variety of aged, firm cheeses such as Comté, mature Cheddar, or a strong Muenster. The wine’s approachable power and aging potential make it a fantastic choice for a formal dinner, a special occasion, or for those who appreciate the evolving beauty and classic profile of a well-crafted Bordeaux. Decanting for at least an hour is highly recommended to allow its full expression.

About the Winery

Château Lamothe-Bergeron is a historic estate located in Cussac-Fort-Médoc, within the Haut-Médoc appellation, boasting a heritage that dates back to 1750. Recognized as a Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, the château has experienced significant modernization and revitalization in recent years, particularly under the ownership of the Helfrich family (part of the larger Les Grands Chais de France group). Their philosophy is centered on expressing the unique characteristics of their gravelly terroir, which is ideally suited for Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot and a small percentage of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. They employ a combination of traditional Bordeaux winemaking techniques with modern precision, including meticulous vineyard management and gravity-fed cellar operations. Château Lamothe-Bergeron is dedicated to producing elegant, balanced, and expressive wines that offer both immediate enjoyment and considerable aging potential, truly reflecting the quality and character of the Haut-Médoc.
