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.
