CHATEAU NOTTON
MARGAUX
70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20%Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc

PROFILE:

Chateau Notton is a family-run property owned and managed by Henri Lurton, who also owns Ch. Brane Cantenac in Margaux. The vinyard is located on a gravelly plateau in the heart of Margaux, between Chateau Desmirail (another Lurton family property) and Chateau du Tertre. This situation ensures optimal ripening of the estate’s 30 hectares, planted with 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The average age of the vines is 25 years. Ch. Notton is vinified in stainless steel and wood cuves and barrel-aged at Ch. Brane-Cantenac.

Ch. Notton is made in the spirit of a “grand vin.” It is assembled from selected batches that yield a round and supple wine that is ready for drinking on release. Ch Notton is a classic Margaux, combining rich flavors and great finesse. Complex notes of ripe dark cherries, roses, licorice and oak are highly satisfying. Ch. Notton is an undiscovered gem and can be enjoyed with fillet mignon and other cuts of steak and red meats. Though perfectly enjoyable when young, Ch. Notton can be cellared for up to ten years.
