Note di degustazione
The 2025 Montlandrie was picked between September 9 and 20 and includes 20% each of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, raised in 60% new oak. (Did you know that they have 400 olive trees and produce virgin oil from the estate? I didn't.) This is more reticent on the nose compared to the Les Cruzelles, displaying a subtle marine tincture tucked behind the black plum and raspberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with very pliant, fluid tannins, a crisp line of acidity, overtly peppery towards the vivacious finish, which disguises the backbone of this Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux. Great length, there can be few wines from that appellation better than this.

Red and blue fruits intermixed with graphite, violets, and lead pencil-like nuances all define the 2025 Château Montlandrie, a wonderfully pure, medium-bodied Castillon from hillside parcels and more clay-rich soils. Harvested between September 9th and 20th, it has ripe, polished, yet building tannins, terrific overall balance, and a deep purple hue that hints at its concentration and depth.
The 2025 Montlandrie is exceptional. A wine of dimension and energy, Montlandrie screams with energy. Blue/black cherry fruit, lavender, spice and grilled herbs possess notable density and sheer power. There's crazy depth and overall complexity here. I would love to taste this blind in a lineup of wines from more "prestigious" appellations.
60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Cabernet expression with dark fruit and a hint of mint. Chalky soils provide freshness. Quite tight, firm and chewy at the moment. Needs time to gel and settle.
