Château Montlandrie - Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux - Red - 2020 :

 

Montlandrie: A World-Class Claret from Castillon

Château Montlandrie, the final legacy project of the revered Denis Durantou (L'Église Clinet), stands as a benchmark for the Castillon - Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. The property's superb clay-limestone terroir yields a wine of profound concentration and finesse. It offers the classic, structured elegance of a top Right Bank Claret, making it an essential addition to any discerning cellar.

Sommelier's Tasting Profile

A wine of intense colour and aromatic depth. Expect a complex bouquet of ripe hedgerow fruit, dark cherry, freshly turned earth, and a subtle smokiness. The oak is seamlessly integrated, lending notes of toast and sweet spice.

• Structure: Full and muscular, with characteristic chalky, polished tannins that promise longevity. The Merlot-dominant blend is beautifully balanced by the Cabernets.
• Length: Persistent and mineral-laced, a testament to the high-quality Castillon plateau.
• Cellaring: Highly age-worthy; will reward patience over the next decade or more.

Food Pairing Suggestions

Ideally served at 16-17°C. A magnificent partner for traditional British roasts and game.
