Chateau Montlabert Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé AOC

Merlot-dominated Grand Cru from Saint-Émilion with the typical melt of the Right Bank — dark fruit, velvety structure, long finish.

Château Montlabert is located in the heart of Saint-Émilion, one of the most famous appellations in Bordeaux. The Grand Cru Classé status ensures strict requirements for yield and vinification. The soils of limestone and clay give the Merlot that characteristic fullness that distinguishes the Right Bank from the more tannin-heavy Cabernet wines of the Médoc.

In the glass, deep dark ruby garnet with violet reflections. The nose opens with blackcurrant, ripe figs, and a hint of hazelnut — underneath, fine wood spice from barrel aging. Juicy and round on the palate, silky tannins without hard edges, medium-long finish with a slight cedar note.

Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs with braised lamb shoulder, entrecôte with herb butter, or ripe Comté.
