    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    A fresh lift of minty eucalyptus introduces aromas of cassis and ripe mulberries, alongside the bright tang of griotte cherry. A distinct mineral character weaves through the Montlandrie 2024, reminiscent of stones and loamy earth, with a subtle floral lift of violets. The palate delivers fresh raspberry, cherry, plum, and blackberry, showing a lovely textural quality. Notes of graphite and pure Cabernet fruit mingle with long, grippy tannins. There’s a floral perfume throughout this wine, leading to a finish graced with hints of rosemary and thyme.

    Although it has the same qualitative style as Les Cruzelles or La Chenade, the 2016 Montlandrie, offers aromas of flowers, plum, graphite and menthol, as well as a more chalky texture. Its pure, clean, long and fleshy with powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. Theres no reason to wait.

    Montlandrie 2016 is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and has a deep garnet color. It rolls effortlessly out of the glass with ready-to-go scents of baked black plums, blueberry preserves, and cassis, plus touches of garrigue, pencil shavings, and fallen leaves. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock full of expressive black and blue fruits with a velvety texture and seamless freshness, finishing with a minty kick.

    The 2016 Montlandrie is laced with the essence of inky blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and licorice. Pliant and fruity, with striking depth, the 2016 is another gorgeous wine in this set of new releases from Denis Durantou. The 2016 is irresistibly beautiful, exotic and beguiling. It's as simple as that.
