History
The quality of the soil, which has long been recognised as such, gave the Château du Cartillon a reputation as early as the 19th century. In 1850 this Cru Bourgeois was clearly mentioned in the first edition of the Féret Guide. At that time the property was owned by Monsieur Alexandre de Bethmann (1805-1870) who was Mayor of Bordeaux from 1867 to 1870. It is reported in the Guide : "located on a gravely terrain, producing one of the best wines in Lamarque". Bronze medal Decanter 2015

Tasting notes
It seduces us with its deep and brilliant purple colour with shades of violet. The nose, complex, fruity and persistant delivers blackberry and mocha aromas. This wine is well balanced and offers beautiful notes of blackcurrant jam and cacao
