When Gabriel Fabre purchased the property in 1964, wine was no longer produced on the estate. The 33 hectares of vines making up the vineyard of Château Lamothe have been planted on limestone and gravelly slopes. In 1976, Gabriel purchased the vines of Château Landat in the nearby commune of Vertheuil, an estate which in the Middle Ages belonged to the very strong abbey of Vertheuil. In 1982, Vincent Fabre started in the profession by buying the estate of La Tonnelle whose vineyard belonged to the highly reputed Château Picourneau in the XIXth century. He assisted his father in wine-growing and winemaking.
After the death of Gabriel in 1991, his children continued the management of the estate. Significant works have been undertaken in the wineries to improve the winemaking tools. Today, the rearranged premises offer a quality-working environment with modern equipment. Strengthened by experience, Domaines Fabre have extended their range over the years by buying various estates within Haut-Médoc.

Winemaker's Notes
The vintages of Château Lamothe-Cissac exhibit a dark ruby colour in the first years. Aerating the wine displays a large spectrum of aromas : notes of red (blackcurrant) and jammy fruits associated with soft spices and subtle vanilla . Well-balanced palate with soft tanins and a very delicate finish. Excellent ageworthiness. Cellaring a few years will develop a complex mix of leather, undergrowth and smoky notes.
