"A comprehensive, ambitious, and masterfully crafted collection! ~ Guide Hachette"
“This full-bodied and complex white wine, aged in new oak barrels, showcases its ambition through aromas of citrus and exotic fruits, blended with a hint of honey and lovely oak notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied, dense, and intense, leaving a lasting impression with a long, fresh, and savory finish. A well-rounded, ambitious wine, crafted with great skill. ” (Hachette Guide 2026)

Rated 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable production, though a bit more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
The 67 hectares of vineyards on this family-owned estate overlook the Gironde estuary, directly across from Margaux’s most prestigious wines. Committed to unlocking the potential of these magnificent terroirs while respecting the environment, Dominique Raimond employs every possible method of cultivation and winemaking to produce a great wine from the Blaye region. The whites are generally very aromatic, with lovely structure and a perfect balance of freshness. The Côtes-de-Bourg “Cuvée Altus” is always top-notch, as is the grand vin from Blaye-Côtes-de-Bordeaux. A flagship estate in both appellations. Montfollet is part of the Châteaux Solidaires association, which brings together ten winemakers from the Blayais region who maintain their own identities while sharing cellars and equipment in a cooperative spirit. Château Haut-Prieur, a member of this association, is superb in the 2016 vintage.

About the estate:
Château Montfollet, one of the leading estates in the Blayais and Bourgeais regions, has been managed since 1991 by Dominique Raimond, who also owns several other châteaux: Haut Lalande, Graulet, Merigot, Haut Grela, and Puy d’Amour. Dominique Raimond is a member of the Cars cooperative (founded in 1937), renamed “Châteaux solidaires” in 2011, which vinifies the harvests of about ten member châteaux—selected through a very rigorous process—separately.

A blend of freshness and fruit, with a balanced interplay of depth and minerality. Honestly, a wonderful surprise!
