The wines of Château Montlabert play on elegance rather than power. Throughout this complex and precise score that the blending represents, the characteristic notes of the cabernet franc and merlot gracefully intertwine. It shows 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.

Tasting notes: Ruby red with carmen reflections. The nose is characteristic of the domaine's wines with powerful aromas of black fruits and vanilla combined with roasted notes. Dense and full-bodied palate with excellent balance. The tannins are well-structured and the finish is very persistent.

Food pairing: Game terrine, fig foie gras, roasted poultry, rack of lamb, sirloin steak in red wine sauce or mature cheeses.
