Tasting Notes
The 2024 Montlandrie has a lovely deep, dark colour, with a similarly concentrated nose – with dark blackcurrant and violet florals. There’s lovely balance to the wine, which offers cherry-rich density, sweet red florals, crushed-rock minerality and textured tannins, almost corduroy-like, striping the fruit. The acidity is bright and mouth-watering, with a long, earthy finish. Another impressive vintage from this Castillon estate. Aged in 42% new oak, 13% alcohol. Blend: 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2024 Château Montlandrie is 60% Merlot and 20% each of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in 50% new barrels. It has a deep purple ruby hue to go with ripe darker cherry and currant fruits as well some plenty of chalky minerality, graphite, and some violet nuances. It's nicely concentrated, medium-bodied, has plenty of mid-palate depth, and outstanding length.
Deep garnet-purple colored. Is a touch closed to start off, needing a little patient swirling to bring out evocative notes of black raspberries and fresh blackberries, plus hints of licorice, crushed rocks, and tapenade. The light to medium-bodied palate delivers great intensity and tension with grainy tannins and a vibrant, lifted finish. Nice!
Harvested between September 26th and 30th for the Merlot, October 3rd to 5th for the Cabernet Franc and October 4th to 5th for the Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Montlandrie reveals a more open and gourmand bouquet than its siblings, with aromas of cassis, mulberries and fresh flowers. Moderately weighted and supple, the palate is enveloping, with a juicy core of fruit that offsets some firmer tannins through the mid-palate, concluding with a fresh, fruit-driven finish. Composed of 60% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine should gain further harmony and integration throughout its élevage.
