Where it comes from
This wine is produced in France, in the Bordeaux region, and is protected by the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux designation, renowned for showcasing the red grape varieties of the Right Bank. The Château Montlandrie estate dates back to the late nineteenth century, founded by an Italian family, and is distinguished by the presence of an ancient stone tower located right in the centre of the vineyards. In 2009, the property was acquired by Denis Durantou, a winemaker already known for his work in Pomerol. The estate strives to deliver the authentic expression and typicality of Bordeaux soils.
How it is produced
Production of Château Montlandrie Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux begins with a careful selection of the grapes. In the winery, the vinification of the Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon blend follows precise oenological practices, aimed at preserving the freshness of the fruit and ensuring the correct extraction of tannins that characterise the sip. The wine is entirely bottled at the château. This approach gives the wine its elegant texture, preserving its qualities over the years.
