#94 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2014 "There's a ripe plushness to the dried blackberry, fig and tobacco flavors that lengthen out on the spice-infused midpalate. Baker's chocolate, cream and vanilla notes power the finish. Malbec and Merlot. Drink now through 2019. 4,500 cases made. -KM" (08/14)

Chateau Lamartine nailed a coveted spot in Wine Spectators Top 100 Wines of 2014, earning rave reviews about the wine’s “ripe plushness…dried blackberry, fig, baker's chocolate, cream and vanilla notes that power [but don’t overpower] through to the finish.” Comprised mostly of Malbec, called ‘Cot’ locally, Chateau Lamartine was founded in 1922 and boasts the oldest, limestone-based vineyards that dominate the best micro-climate overlooking the Lot River. The 2011 Chateau Lamartine shows off the finesse and depth of this great grape on its home turf!
