Chateau Montlabert Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé AOC

Merlot-dominated Grand Cru from Saint-Émilion with the typical smoothness of the right bank — dark fruit, velvety texture, long finish.

Château Montlabert lies in the heart of Saint-Émilion, one of Bordeaux's most renowned appellations. Its Grand Cru Classé status guarantees strict requirements for yield and vinification. The limestone and clay soils impart a characteristic richness to the Merlot, distinguishing it from the Right Bank's more tannic Cabernet Sauvignon wines of the Médoc.

In the glass, a deep, dark ruby ​​garnet with violet reflections. The nose opens with blackcurrant, ripe figs, and a hint of hazelnut—underneath, a subtle oak spice from barrel aging. On the palate, juicy and rounded, with silky tannins and no harsh edges, a medium-long finish with a light cedar note.

Drinking window now until 2035. Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs well with braised lamb shoulder, entrecôte with herb butter or mature Comté cheese.
