FR Château de Lamarque Donjon de Lamarque Haut-Médoc

Raymond Whitley — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 14:56:55 +0000

Château de Lamarque is located in Lamarque, in the Haut-Médoc region of Bordeaux. The vines in Lamarque have existed since the 15th century, but the wines were only produced for consumption for the inhabitants of the château.

Donjon de Lamarque is the Château’s Second Wine, made with the younger grapes of the property with a higher percentage of Merlot (up to 60%) and less Cabernet (40%). The Merlot could actually have been part of the Château de Lamarque blending but that would change the traditional Cabernet dominated blend of the first wine. The wine is aged in French oak barrels (all coming from the French region of Allier) for about 12 to 14 months before being bottled. The picking of the barrels is extremely meticulous, being guided by the idea of respecting the harmony between the oak tannins and the wine tannins. Every year the pairing is different. Traditionally 2 vintage-old barrels are used for Donjon de Lamarque.

60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon

FR Brotte La Fiole Père Anselme Viognier

Raymond Whitley — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 14:16:13 +0000

The Legend of La Fiole dates back to 1952 after a meeting between a winemaker from Châteauneuf du Pape and a renowned glass artist from the region. Together they imagined a bottle with curved shapes, reminiscent of the vines of old Grenache vines bent by the Mistral wind. Much more than a simple bottle, it became the ideal bottle for a great Châteauneuf du Pape wine.

VARIETALS: 100% Viognier

VINTAGE: 2024

ALC: 13%

APPEARANCE This wine has a sumptuous intense golden yellow colour, both brilliant and expressive.

NOSE On the nose, a beautiful freshness mingles with a remarkable aromatic intensity. Notes of apricot and peach harmonise with floral nuances of jasmine. With time, this bouquet evolves towards more complex and suave aromas, evoking dried apricot, acacia honey, quince and very ripe peach.

PALATE the attack is fresh and supple, revealing delicious flavours of apricot and vine peach. With age, the texture becomes richer, giving way to generous notes of dried apricot and honey, which lend beautiful depth and great richness.

PAIRING: Served at 10-12°C, this Viognier is the perfect accompaniment to exotic, slightly spicy dishes, fish in sauce or blue cheese, bringing out its evolving flavours and elegant texture.
