2011 Chateau La Montlandrie Cotes de Castillon (6 x Bottle)
A thrilling offering from proprietor Denis Durantou (who also owns Pomerol’s l’Eglise-Clinet), this blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc is a surprisingly large-scaled Cotes de Bordeaux Castillon revealing a dense ruby/purple color as well as lots of sweet mulberry, kirsch, black currant, licorice, spring flower and graphite notes. Medium to full-bodied as well as remarkably concentrated, this wine outperforms many of Bordeaux’s more famous names in this vintage. A stunner in quality and value, it can be enjoyed over the next 10+ years. It is a sleeper of the vintage.

Vinous
The 2011 Montlandrie has a high-toned bouquet with fleshy black cherry and blueberry fruit, well defined with a pastille-like purity. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, quite dry tannins, very old school in style with a conservative, cedary, slightly bretty finish. I find this a bit short. Maybe this is now is decline? Tasted blind at the annual 10-Year-On tasting.
