CHÂTEAU DE LAMARQUE ~ VINTAGE 2020
Presentation of the vintage 2020 by Pierre-Gilles Gromand d'Evry:
"The weather conditions during 2020 were both peculiar and unorthodox but thanks to extraordinary catch up / compensating key moments, it is actually a great vintage!
As we, at Château de Lamarque, didn’t suffer from the frost, from hail or heavy rains, the yield in 2020 is decent. Our wine is all about finesse, elegance and balance!
Its robe reveals a dense and deep red color, garnet, purplish reflection, reminding us of the berry color before harvest time.
The nose gives off black fruit, plums and spice aromas thanks to Petit Verdot. On the palate, the wine is fruity, with some spice notes and mocha. Its structure offers a harmonious roundness and fine tannins which lead us to believe it has a great ageing potential. Lastly, its long and highly aromatic caudalies invites us to a beautiful journey in Haut-Medoc!
We are looking forward to your visit to Chateau de Lamarque, our old and familial estate as it is Garsion de Lamaque, our ancestor, who built it back in the 11th century."

Chateau de Lamarque 2020
92-93 points: "Blackberry, lead pencil and shaved wood on the nose. It’s full-bodied with really well integrated tannins that are smooth and polished. Very pretty. "
Donjon de Lamarque 2020
89-90 points: "Aromas and flavors of tobacco, currant and chocolate follow through to a medium body with pleasant fruit and a delicate finish. A little fluid in the center palate. Second wine. "
