Description
What kind of wine it is
Chateau Montlandrie Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux is a still red wine from the Bordeaux region. It is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. On the nose, it reveals clear aromas of red cherry and wild strawberry, which lead to a medium-bodied palate supported by fine tannins. The structural balance promises excellent ageing potential in the cellar, estimated between ten and fifteen years.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux area in France. It is produced by Chateau Montlandrie, an estate with roots dating back to the late nineteenth century, characterised by a historic stone tower at the centre of the vineyards. A key milestone for the estate was its acquisition in 2009 by Denis Durantou, already the owner of other renowned properties in Bordeaux. This careful management ensures grapes of great quality, resulting in a highly expressive profile that is very true to its place of origin.
How it is produced
The winemaking technique aims to enhance the identity of the varieties in the blend. To appreciate every nuance of the bouquet, it is recommended to decant for about an hour and serve at a temperature of 18-20°C. In terms of food pairing, Chateau Montlandrie Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux shows remarkable versatility, pairing well with red meats, particularly beef and lamb. Its savoury character also makes it ideal for cured meats and mature cheeses. The value of this label is recognised by leading international wine critics such as Decanter, James Suckling and Robert Parker.
History and Curiosities
Château Montlandrie boasts origins dating back to the late nineteenth century and is renowned for its striking ancient stone tower located at the heart of its vineyards. In 2009, the acquisition by Denis Durantou, already owner of Château L’Église Clinet, marked the beginning of a prestigious revival for the estate. This meticulous care is reflected in the exceptional 2021 vintage, a fine Bordeaux red of great character that has won over international critics, earning illustrious accolades including the renowned 93 points from James Suckling.
