Château Montlandrie
Castillon Côtes De Bordeaux Red Bordeaux Blend
Côtes De Bordeaux, Bordeaux, France
Tonight I have opened the Right Bank 2015 Château Montlandrie Castillon Cótes de Bordeaux. The winemaker is the owner Denis Durantou with a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.
With an expressive nose of black cherry, blackberry, plum, black currant, licorice, violets, menthol and crushed gravel.
On the palate is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, black currant, black pepper, licorice, bakers chocolate and graphite.
The is a voluptuous medium to full bodied velvety smooth wine with medium + acidity and medium + fine grippy mouth coating tannins that lead to a long clean fresh finish. Enjoy your weekend and while doing so please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

This Castillion Chateau was acquired by the late Denis Durantou of L'Eglise Clinet roughly 15 years ago. Just as promised it delivers excellent value. Damp earth, currants, plums, black truffle and some green notes. Very solid. Would buy again. 2019 is the last vintage Monsieur Darantou harvested.

2016 vintage. Expressive from the start. Roasted cashews along with cocoa powder and cherry in the nose. Medium body with some oak fat. Finishes relatively lean but fresh with that cherry looming large and allied with dark plum, watercress, mint, lite green tea and some earth. Pretty and concentrated but not a powerhouse.

Smooth and delicious. Heavy on the merlot, but that’s what makes it soft. Love it.
