Château Lamothe De Haux

Four Generations of Winemaking Tradition

Château Lamothe has a rich history that spans four centuries, making it a significant part of Bordeaux's winemaking heritage. This charming estate has been family-owned since 1956, starting with the Perriquets and now led by Anne Néel, along with her children, Maria and Damien. Their dedication to quality and tradition has shaped the winery's identity over generations.

Medieval Caves with a Story to Tell

Spanning 80 hectares, Château Lamothe also includes the vineyards of the nearby Château Manos. One of the estate's most fascinating features is its underground galleries, carved from limestone during the Middle Ages. Originally used as cave dwellings, these tunnels became ideal for wine storage when the Château was established in the 17th century. Visitors can learn about the significance of these cellar caves and how they contribute to the winery's esteemed reputation.

Exceptional Wines from Château Lamothe

Château Lamothe produces around 400,000 bottles annually, showcasing a variety of wines. The standout white wine is a blend of 40% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Semillon, and 20% Muscadelle, notable for its higher Muscadelle content compared to typical Bordeaux whites. This wine is un-oaked and is available just 11 months after harvest. The estate also offers two red wines, both blends of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc. The Traditionelle is aged in stainless steel, while the Premiere is aged in oak for one year. Additionally, a dark rosé, known as clairet, is produced, adding to the winery's diverse offerings.
