"A comprehensive, ambitious collection, executed with great skill!" ~ Guide Hachette
"This broad and complex white wine, aged in new barrels, displays its ambitions with aromas of citrus and exotic fruits mixed with a touch of honey and a lovely woodiness. The palate is full-bodied, dense, and intense, leaving a memory of a long, fresh, and sapid finish. A complete, ambitious wine, showing great mastery. (Guide Hachette 2026)

Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The 67 hectares of vineyards on this family estate overlook the Gironde estuary, directly opposite the most prestigious Margaux wines. Keen to reveal the potential of these magnificent terroirs while respecting the environment, Dominique Raimond uses every means of cultivation and vinification to produce a great Blayais wine. The whites are generally very aromatic, with good tension and a good balance of freshness. The Côtes-de-Bourg Cuvée Altus is always top-notch, as is the grand vin in Blaye-Côtes-de-Bordeaux. A flagship property in both appellations. Montfollet is part of the Châteaux Solidaires association, which brings together ten Blaye winegrowers who retain their own identity while sharing cellars and tools in a spirit of cooperation. Château Haut-Prieur is part of this association and is superb in the 2016 vintage.
