Chateau Fleur La Mothe Medoc 2019 750ml

Château Fleur La Mothe was founded in 2008 by three consultant oenologists, Edouard Massie, Henri Boyer and Antoine Médeville, who wanted a Médoc of their own. It sits in Saint-Yzans-de-Médoc near the Gironde estuary, was classified Cru Bourgeois Supérieur in 2020, and is HVE3 and Terra Vitis certified.

Its vineyard is split into five parcels on gravel, clay-limestone and sandy-gravel soils, and this wine is a selection of the best plots. The 2019 is 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot, at 13% alcohol.

It's garnet in the glass, a rich wine with finesse and concentration, and its tannic structure gives it room to age.

Next to Moulin de Duhart 2022, Fleur La Mothe is a Merlot-led Médoc with more bottle age; for an everyday claret that's ready now, choose Fleur La Mothe.

Serve it a little below room temperature with steak frites or lamb chops. Seven years on, it's open for business, so a quick decant is all it needs.
