Bergerac AOC - Chateau Lamothe Belair

With the Chateau Lamothe Belair Bergerac, a first-class red wine enters the glass. It presents a wonderfully luminous, purple-red color. With a bit of time in the glass, this red wine from France reveals wonderfully expressive aromas of raspberry and blackberry, rounded off by further fruity nuances contributed by maturation in wooden barrels.

The Chateau Lamothe Belair Bergerac presents itself wonderfully dry to the wine lover. This red wine never comes across as coarse or meager, as one might expect from a wine in the premium entry-level segment. On the palate, this well-balanced red wine is characterized by an immensely dense texture. Thanks to its lively acidity, the Bergerac appears delightfully fresh and vibrant on the palate. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the Bordeaux region impresses with beautiful length. Once again, hints of blackberry and raspberry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the limestone-dominated soils join in.

Vinification of the Bergerac from Chateau Lamothe Belair

The well-balanced Bergerac from France is a cuvée made from the grape varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. In Bordeaux, the vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on limestone soils. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There, they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small wooden barrels at controlled temperatures. After fermentation is complete, the elegant Bergerac is aged for several months in oak barrels.
