Chateau Montlandrie Castillon Cotes de Bordeaux

Crafted in the Castillon Côtés de Bordeaux appellation on the Right Bank of Bordeaux, France, Château Montlandrie is an exceptional, highly sought-after property purchased in 2009 by the late, legendary Denis Durantou of Pomerol’s iconic Château L’Église-Clinet. Today expertly managed by his daughters, the estate is situated on a prime high-elevation clay-limestone plateau in Saint-Étienne-de-Lisse, acting as a seamless geographical extension of Saint-Émilion’s prized terroir. Heavily dominated by old-vine Merlot complemented by Cabernet Franc and a small touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, the vines thrive in nutrient-rich clay topsoils over solid asteria limestone bedrock, giving the wine its signature balance of opulent dark fruit and vibrant mineral drive. Vinified with precision parcel-by-parcel in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, the wine matures for 12 to 14 months in fine French oak barrels (approximately 40% new). Château Montlandrie delivers a plush, aristocratic, and remarkably structured Right Bank expression that easily rivals prestigious Saint-Émilion estates while offering extraordinary value.

Food Pairing: Prime dry-aged ribeye steak, roasted rack of lamb, braised beef short ribs, pork tenderloin with plum reduction, wild mushroom ragù, roasted duck breast, and aged hard cheeses like Comté or Gouda.
