Chateau Lamothe Guignard Sauternes, Bordeaux, France
Chateau Lamothe-Guignard was originally part of a much larger property. The original Chateau Lamothe dates back to an 8th Century fortress which occupied that site, remnants of which remain to this day; Lamothe (sometimes referred to as Lamothe-Despujols) now exists as a small, second growth in its own right, but what is now Chateau Lamothe-Guignard was once a portion of this estate, cleaved off in the 19th Century. The break up off the estate occurred under the tenure of the Baptiste family, who were in charge throughout much of the 19th Century, including the time of the classification of the original Chateau Lamothe as asecond growthin 1855. Those vineyards which were destined to become Lamothe-Guignard were inherited by the next generation of the Baptiste family, before being sold on to Charles Joseph Bergey. As was common practice, in order to distinguish one estate from another, the Bergey name was appended to the chateau name and so Chateau Lamothe-Bergey was created. Upon Bergey's death it passed to his daughter Marie-Angele Tissot, and upon her passing it was purchased, in 1958, by none other than Armand Bastit Saint-Martin. Bastit Saint-Martin had already acquired the original Lamothe estate, and so here was a perfect opportunity for the two to be reunited. This was a fabulous concept; imagine such a reunion today of Leoville-Barton, Leoville-Poyferre and -Las Cases. But it was not to be; instead, Lamothe-Bergey was leased out, and the two halves of the original property continued to be run as two quite separate units. With time the Bastit Saint-Martin family sold off their assets, selling the original Lamothe portion to the Despujols family, who continue to run the estate today, in 1961, and the Bergey portion to the Guignard family, in 1981; hence the name of the property was changed to Lamothe-Guignard. The Guignard brothers Pierre and Jean already owned a number of successful properties around Sauternes and Graves, and Jean's sons, Philippe and Jacques, were keen to take on an estate of their own. This somewhat rundown section of the old Chateau Lamothe was just such an opportunity. Over the ensuing years they replanted the vineyards and restored the chai, which was dilapidated; during the tenure of Bastit Saint-Martin the fruit harvested here had been fermented at another of his properties, Chateau d'Arche. As a result quality has rocketed, and Lamothe-Guignard now offers, in my opinion, good quality wines at a favourable price. Guignards family have brought about a dramatic improvement in quality at Lamothe-Guignard.
