2016 | Chateau du Cartillon | Haut-Medoc

Château du Cartillon offers a great, well-balanced wine with mature, velvety tannin accompanying a long, vanilla-aroma finale.

Reviews:

• Wine Enthusiast: Close to the Gironde estuary in the town of Lamarque, this vineyard is planted with 70% Merlot, which has produced a luscious, ripe wine with warm blackberry fruits. Young tannins give a rich structure that will soften.

Producer Information

Chateau du Cartillon is located on the itinerary which follows the Medoc Chateaux in the Bordeaux area, in the village of Lamarque, halfway between the Margaux and Saint-Julien vineyards. In the heart of the Haut-Medoc appellation, the 69 hectares property adjoins three prestigious representatives of the Moulis appellation : the Chateaux of Poujeaux, Maucaillou and Chasse Spleen. The quality of the soil, which has long been recognised as such, gave the Chateau du Cartillon a reputation as early as the 19th century. In 1850 this Cru Bourgeois was clearly mentioned in the first edition of the Fe´ret Guide. At that time the property was owned by Monsieur Alexandre de Bethmann (1805-1870) who was Mayor of Bordeaux from 1867 to 1870. It is reported in the Guide : "located on a gravely terrain, producing one of the best wines in Lamarque".
