Château MONTLANDRIE
Red

In 2008, Denis Durantou fell head over heels for this splendid 12-hectare clay-limestone vineyard, which he purchased the very next year. Located at the top of a hill on the first tier of the Dordogne hillside, Montlandrie is to Castillon (which it directly overlooks) what Ausone is to Saint-Émilion.

As with the family’s other estates (L’Église-Clinet, Les Cruzelles, La Chenade...), Noëmie Durantou applies all her expertise and perfectionism to produce a fresh, floral wine with crisp, juicy fruit: plot-by-plot vinification, low-temperature fermentation, gentle hand-pumping over...

Few Bordeaux wines deserve the description “vibrant wine” as much as Montlandrie.
