Deep ruby in color; graphite, black pepper, and cigar box on the nose; as it opens up, I'm getting a little black cherry on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like crushed gravel, blackberries, and black olives with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. Jason and I love it. — 4 months ago

Bargain Bordeaux, still needs a decant while the steak 🥩 is being properly Souse Vided🤷🏼‍♂️
I don’t know why anyone would drink this without 20-30 years on it.
Pre arrival for 2020 is $14.00, so it will be enjoyable in 2045 more than likely.
Internet Notes as follows,

This is a property very close to Pauillac, and it's one to watch out for now, and in the future. These wines are well-made, value-driven, with good depth and length. Proprietor Patrick Bernard owns 50 hectares of gravel soils and with the aid of winemaker Xavier Michelet, produces elegant, silky, and vibrant Left Bank wines that won't break the bank.

Ripe fruit, portlandian limestone adding great mineral backbone. Crisp but more sweeter lemon notes. Amazing value and great to drink on its own or with shellfish and sole a la meunière. — 8 years ago

Vintage 2020 | it must be frustrating and annoying for a lot of people that do not know much about wine, if you open a bottle with Cahors on the label it is not clear what you taste. Two days ago I drank Eugenie 2014 which was too young, today Haut Monplaisir 2020 (!) that is lively to taste. Red forrest fruit. Round and silky taste. Lovely effort. Yes, I realize it is not about the regional name or AOC but about knowing the producer. — 2 years ago

On the nose, strawberries, cherries, black cherries, blood oranges, soft, unstated chalkiness, volcanic minerals and fresh red & pink roses. On the palate, its delicate, fruit driven. More fruit concentration that the Billecart-Salmon but less than the Ruinart Rosés. Strawberries, cherries, black cherries, blood oranges, tangerines, nice chalkiness, round acidity, brioche & pink roses. It's much more floral than the Billecart or the Ruinart. However, the finish is not quite as long as the other two as well. But, it's still very nice. A little history on the house. Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 and is the main company of the Laurent-Perrier Group, whose other properties include; Salon, De Castellane and Delamotte & Chateau Malakoff. Laurent-Perrier was founded in 1812 when a former cooper and bottler, Alphonse Pierlot purchased two parcels of land named "Plaisances" and "La Tour Glorieux" in Tours-sur-Marne. When Pierlot passed he willed the company to his cellar master, Eugene Laurent, who ran it with his wife, Mathilde Emilie Perrier. In 1925 Veuve Mathilde died, and left the company to Eugenie Hortense Laurent. Eugenie sold the company to Mary-Louise Lanson de Nonancourt in 1939. In 1949 Bernard de Nonancourt became the owner of the company and saw it become one of the largest family-owned Champagne houses. The de Nonancourt family still retains majority ownership today. Check out those old moldy bottles in the small photo on the left. They've remained untouched for a very long time. — 7 years ago
