    In a few words ...

    This cuvée comes from a single plot of 1.5 hectares on an exceptional terroir of deep gravel. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new.

    James Suckling Critique professionnel

    "Château Du Mont 2018 shows a solid core of fruit - red berries - as well as notes of shiitake mushrooms. Perhaps the best vintage ever."

    Well, for a little Haut-Médoc like that, I really enjoyed it. Not too astringent or tannic, with plenty of fruit to enjoy!

    Beautiful amplitude on the palate, with red fruit. Long, persistent finish with a chewy texture.

    A very good wine that can be kept for a few more years, with good length on the palate.

    a good wine, very classic of the appellation full-bodied, tannic and with finesse deserves to age (tannins not sufficiently blended) decant at least 2h
