Château Montlabert embodies elegance over power. In this refined and meticulous blend, the expressive character of Cabernet Franc and Merlot harmonize beautifully.
Displaying a ruby hue with carmine reflections, the 2019 reveals an aromatic bouquet typical of the estate — rich notes of black fruit and vanilla, subtly enhanced by toasty nuances. On the palate, it is dense, balanced, and full of character. The tannins are well-structured, leading to a long, graceful finish. An ideal companion for roast poultry.
