Expert Tasting Notes – 2017 Château Lamothe (Sweet White)

• Simon Field: Dandelion gold in appearance, with aromas of guava, honeysuckle, and lemon pith. On the palate, it offers poached pear, hints of tarte tatin, and honeydew melon. The finish is a bit short, leaving the wine feeling slightly tense.
• Andrew Jefford: Bright, full gold, with exuberant aromas of candied banana, honey, and a barley-sugar twist. The palate is ample in sweetness and richness, with candied banana, melon, and glacé fruits. Both critics agree it’s rich and inviting, though Field notes a slightly undercharged finish.

Château Lamothe Bergeron 2025 (Red)

• Markus Del Monego (MW / BWW2025 Finalist): Dark purple with violet hue and black core. Aromatic nose with ripe blackcurrants, blackberries, mild spices, and fine toasting. On the palate, it mirrors the nose, with mild acidity, ripe tannins, and good length. This vintage is noted for its balance and depth, making it a strong choice for pairing with beef.
