Chateau Montlandrie 2023
/100
55% Merlot, 20%, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, 14,5% vol. 50% lagret på nye barriques. Der vil ske en stor ændring i blandingen på Montlandrie fra 2023, da vi nu har en betydelig andel af Cabernet Sauvignon her, da en nyplantet parcel indgår helt her for første gang. Tidligere var der altid kun lige under 5 % Cabernet Sauvignon, men førstegangsudbyttet fra denne parcel var simpelthen fantastisk. Denne højere andel mærkes straks i næsen og giver sig udslag i mere elegance og finesse. Mørke kirsebær er omgivet af fin mynte. Der er også nuancer af brombær og rød frugt. Ribs og surkirsebær. Et fantastisk samspil mellem mørke og røde kirsebær i smagen, alt sammen vendt til salt med et fint tryk og en skarp mineralitet. Virkelig forbløffende frisk! Alt er drevet af mynte og subtile blomsternoter. Enorme mængder salt, masser af mineralitet. Meget saftig og animerende, kører gribende på kridtagtige tanniner. Medium krop og en dejlig længde med fine, mørke bær og ristede kaffearomaer i slutningen. En meget fin og afbalanceret Castillon og sammen med Domaine de L'A den nærmeste forfølger til Clos Louie. Næsten fantastisk!
The Wine Palate om: Chateau Montlandrie
A plot of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 2021 came on line this year, so there is more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of the 2023 Montlandrie than usual. The blend is 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 55% Merlot, and it is deep garnet‑purple in color. It skyrockets out with intense scents of blackberry pie, juicy raspberries, and wild blueberries, giving way to a fragrant undercurrent of Chinese five‑spice, dried roses, and incense. The full‑bodied palate is wonderfully rich and opulent, superbly contrasted by fantastic tension and a velvety texture, finishing long and perfumed. Gorgeous!

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Montlandrie
Including a new parcel that brought more Cabernet into the blend, the 2023 Château Montlandrie is based on 55% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc, aged in 50% new French oak. This deep purple-hued beauty has a classy, perfumed, complex, and incredibly elegant personality, offering ripe black raspberries, sappy flowers, blood orange, and a beautiful limestone-like minerality. It's medium-bodied, pure, layered, and graceful, with fine tannins, remarkable purity, and a great finish. This is one of those hidden gems that readers will love. Drink bottles over the coming 15-20 years. Drink 2026-2045.

Galloni om: Chateau Montlandrie
The 2023 Montlandrie is another seriously beautiful wine from sisters Constance and Noëmie Durantou. This is the first with a high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon, which comes through in the wine's dark persona and strong savory inflections. The wine's depth, textual presence and dynamic personality are all exceptional by any measure.

Suckling om: Chateau Montlandrie
Aromas of graphite, dark fruit, plums, chocolate and a subtle herbal touch. Medium- to full-bodied, savory and refined, with elegant, integrated, velvety tannins and a long, precise finish. First year of cabernet sauvignon in the blend. First year vines. 55% merlot, 25% cabernet sauvignon and 20% cabernet franc. Drink or hold.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Montlandrie
The bouquet of flowers stands out before revealing its rich cherries, mint, and chocolate that make up the aromatic profile. The medium-bodied palate balances its vibrant energy with a sweet, spicy, and bright red fruit character. There is elegance and length in the red berry finish that makes you want to take another sip afterward pit fruit finish. Give it a year or two in the cellar, and enjoy it for 15 or more years. The wine blends 55% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 20% Cabernet Franc. Drink from 2027-2040.

Lisa Perrotti Brown om: Chateau Montlandrie
A plot of Cabernet Sauvignon planted in 2021 came on line this year, so there is more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend of the 2023 Montlandrie than usual. The blend is 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 55% Merlot and it is deep garnet-purple in color. It charges out of the glass with powerful notes of baked plums, black cherry preserves, and black raspberries, followed by hints of mint tea, clove oil, Indian spices, and fragrant soil. The full-bodied palate is jam-packed with expressive black fruit layers, framed by velvety tannins and bags of freshness, finishing long and opulent.

Neal Martin om: Chateau Montlandrie
The 2023 Montlandrie sees a change in composition, as a plot of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon that Noëmie Durantou planted in 2021 enters the blend for the first time. She found the first-pressed wine for the Cabernet Sauvignon impressive, so she also added that to the blend. The result is 55% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, picked between September 18 and 30 and matured in 50% new oak. This new makeup certainly gives it a different aromatic profile than previous vintages: black cherries, cedar and pencil shavings, very focused, more Left-Bank-meets-Right-Bank in style. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It’s beautifully structured and judiciously spiced with gentle grip on the finish. Together with Les Cruzelles, these wines represent outstanding value for money. This will certainly age well in bottle.
