Description

The oldest in the Medoc region, Chateau de Lamarque is almost a thousand years old. The family history dates back to when Garison de Lamarque built the original fortified castle between 1050 and 1090, to protect the region from Viking invasions. Meanwhile his cousin, Gaubert de Fumel, was taking part in the Crusades. The story of the Lamarques and Fumels continues today. In fact, Georgine de Fumel, the Marchioness of Evry who today is responsible for the future of the chateau’s vineyard.

Tasting Notes

Colour: Medium intense ruby red.
Aromas: Fresh nose, displaying rather red fruity notes, herbs, slight hint of leather and quite discreet oak.
Palate: The palate is still youthful; still a bit tight with pronounced tannins and high acidity. Fruitness is more, once again on the red fruity side with hints of red currant, some herbal spiciness, such as bay leaf.
