Montlandrie 2017 is a single-vineyard Bordeaux blend from the Côtes de Castillon region. Owned by Denis Durantou, renowned for his work with the illustrious L`Eglise Clinet, this estate spans 11 hectares and boasts 25-year-old vines. This blend comprises 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2017 vintage displays a medium-bodied profile defined by finesse and freshness. The aromatic core presents bright red fruit notes of redcurrant jelly and cherry, evolving into subtle earthy undertones of dusty soil tobacco and fine spice. On the palate, the tannins are noted as supple silky and finely grained giving the wine an elegant structure that makes it approachable now and suitable for medium-term cellaring.
