Chateau Fleur La Mothe 3 Items

In May 2008, Antoine Médeville, Edouard Massie and Henri Boyer, three consultant oenologists known and recognized for their skills and professionalism that they have exercised for 20 years in their 'Oenoconseil' laboratories, decided to move to the other side of the barrier and become owners with the acquisition of a 15 hectare vineyard located on the Saint-Yzans plateau in the Médoc appellation. A few years later, Emilien Delalande and Thomas Marquant, newly associated with Oenoconseil, joined the adventure. Drawing on their experience in viticulture and oenology advice, the oenologists set themselves a challenge: to make one of the best wines of the appellation by optimizing the qualities of the soil and using their know-how. Very quickly they set up a qualitative policy, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. They choose a contemporary and sober label in the image of their wine which combines tradition and modernism.

Chateau Fleur la Mothe is located in the commune of Saint-Yzans du Medoc in Bordeaux, France. The estate's name comes from its gravel rises (mothe means "mound" in the local patois).

Most of the vines overlook the Gironde estuary, which has a regulating effect on temperature and protects the vines from spring frosts. The gravel soil provides excellent natural drainage for the 15 hectare vineyard.

The winemaking team is committed to in sustainable viticulture, and were crowned in 2016 with the TERRA VITIS certification. Grape varieties : Merlot - Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Average vine age: 50 years
