Montlandrie 2018 is a full-bodied red wine from the Côtes de Castillon region. Crafted by Château de Fonbel, this vintage is a blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard benefits from well-drained clay-limestone soils, which contribute to the structure and complexity of the wine. Montlandrie is vinified with a focus on minimal intervention, allowing the expression of the terroir. It is unfiltered and may develop further complexity with age.

A blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 Montlandrie is deep garnet-purple in color. It needs a lot of swirling and coaxing to wake a sleeping monster nose of baked plums, boysenberry preserves, and fruitcake, followed by nuances of licorice, menthol, and Indian spices. The full-bodied palate possesses surprising grace and brightness for this hot vintage, with wonderful tension and silky tannins, finishing with epic length.Lisa Perrotti-Brown12th June 2024

The 2018 Montlandrie has the ripest bouquet of the late Denis Durantou’s 2018s , featuring copious black cherries mingled with blueberry and blood orange scents, almost exotic considering the growing season. The palate is well balanced with dark black fruit, hints of pencil lead becoming more prominent toward the finish, where, as I remarked from barrel, the wood component is just a little too vocal. Give it 2–3 years in bottle. Neal Martin21st March 2021
