Château Montlandrie 1

Supple and fleshy with a chewy and bright aspect. Lots of fun on offer here with plenty of personality – ripe yet also freshly picked, just shy of tart strawberries, cranberries and red cherries. Clean and mineral on the finish with a wet stone element that lingers. Friendly, clean, focused yet still with intensity of fruit and push. A fine showing – zippy and alive, very balanced and refreshing. A yield of 38hl/ha. Ageing 60% new oak. Drinking window: 2027-2040. (Georgina Hindle,decanter.com)
