Pierre Lamotte Sauvignon Blanc
Region: France, Bourgogne
Grape variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Background: “Vins de France” can be produced throughout the whole of France using grapes harvested exclusively within its borders. This quite new appellation (2009) allows for a greater liberty in winemaking compared to the appellation system. It is a great opportunity for our winemaker to express his skills with a wine with a steady style and unique personality.
Winemaking process: Fermentation takes place at low temperatures in order to preserve all of the grapes’ aromas and flavours. The wine is then aged for a few months on finelees.
Tasting notes: Golden, pale straw yellow in colour. Very fine and mineral with notes of fresh fruit. Well balanced, with a strong acidity that is nevertheless sustained by good maturity. The aromas are typical (blackcurrant blossom, litchi). This wine has the characteristics of a typical Sauvignon Blanc with a lot of finesse and purity.
Food pairing: As an aperitif, with seafood, a tuna carpaccio, smoked salmon, sushi or Japanese fish dishes, but also goat cheeses or asparagus in sauce.

Pierre Lamotte Chardonnay
Region: France, Bourgogne
Grape Variety: Chardonnay
Background: “Vins de France” can be produced throughout the whole of France using grapes harvested exclusively within its borders. This quite new appellation (2009) allows for a greater liberty in winemaking compared to the appellation system. It is a great opportunity for our winemaker to express his skills with a wine with a steady style and unique personality.
Winemaking Process: The grapes were harvested during the cool hours of the night to keep the typical freshness of Chardonnay. Each plot was vinified separately so that we respect their true nature, and get a finer and purer wine. After the fermentation process, the wine is aged for 4 months on fine lees, in stainless steel tanks to keep the fruit and freshness of the grape.
Tasting Notes: Classic French Chardonnay with attractive citrus and "creamy" notes. Bright straw-coloured. Generous and seductive nose with notes of nectarine and acacia. Exotic fruits are also found on the elegant and well-rounded palate.
Food Pairing: It should be an elegant companion to mixed salads, grilled meats, fish and shellfish.

Pierre Lamotte Merlot 2023
Region: France, Bourgogne
Grape Variety: Merlot
Background: “Vins de France” can be produced throughout the whole of France using grapes harvested exclusively within its borders. This quite new appellation (2009) allows for a greater liberty in winemaking compared to the appellation system. It is a great opportunity for our winemaker to express his skills with a wine with a steady style and unique personality.
Winemaking Process: The grapes are machine harvested and the bunches are de-stemmed before undergoing a period of cold maceration to increase extract of colour. The alcoholic fermentation lasts 8-10 days at controlled temperatures, with a daily pumping over of the juice. The malolactic fermentation follows and the wine is kept in tanks for 4-6 months before bottling.
Tasting Notes: Ruby red with beautiful intensity. Aromas of green pepper and blackcurrant with a hint of dark chocolate. Elegant and supple wine with lovely, concentrated flavours. The tannins are well-integrated and pleasant.
Food Pairing: Enjoy with grilled poultry or poultry in sauce, red meat with Mediterranean vegetables, or a roasted leg of lamb.
