Château de Lamarque is an historic estate in the Haut-Médoc appellation of Bordeaux with 35 hectares (86 acres) of vineyards planted to 45 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 35 percent Merlot, 10 percent Cabernet Franc and a small parcel of Petit Verdot. These vines are situated on the left bank of the Gironde river and planted over three parcels of soils rich in gravel, clay and sandstone. The estate has moved progressively towards organic viticulture and uses minimal chemicals.
Comprising 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and equal parts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2015 Lamarque has a detailed raspberry and wild strawberry-scented bouquet with good tension: not a powerful Haut-Médoc but focused and crisp. The palate is medium-bodied with an attractive saline entry, good balance with well-judged acidity. This is a classic, stylish 2015 with plenty of freshness and class, one that I expect will land towards the top of my banded score once in bottle. Drink 2019-2032.
 

An array of baking spices and toasty oak sits across dark-cherry compote and chocolate. The palate has a smooth, sturdy tannin frame and good depth of dark-fruit flavours. Try from 2020.
