Description
The wines of Chateau Montlabert wines play on elegance rather than power.
Nose : Throughout this complex and precise score that the blending work represents, the characteristic notes of the cabernet franc and merlot gracefully intertwine.
Palate : The most iconic vintages, 2012, 2015, 2016, show a refined structure, a controlled natural acidity, a lovely texture on the mid-palate, an aromatic and tannic elegance. In these wines, the merlot often reveals an almost Pomerolian softness, its roots drawing deep down into the veins of blue clay.
