Chateau Montlandrie 2022 Castillon Cotes De Bordeaux

Denis Darantou established himself as winemaker of the great Saint-Emilion house Chateau L'Eglise Clinet, and before his recent passing established a series of "satellite" wines made in his more modern, fruit-forward style, among them this Chateau Montlandrie.

75% Merlot, 20% Cabermet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

“The 2022 Montlandrie is another stellar wine in this range from the Durantou sisters. A healthy percentage of Cabernets (30%) in the blend adds aromatic lift and gorgeous supporting structure. Montlandrie is a complete wine. It offers striking aromatics, layered, sepia-toned fruit and exquisite balance, along with a beautifully articulate, sustained finish that is quite simply captivating. Montlandrie is a fabulous wine in its peer group, or any group for that matter.”—Antonio Galloni, Vinous
