About the estate:
The 67 hectares of vineyards on this family-owned estate overlook the Gironde estuary, directly across from the most prestigious Margaux wines. Determined to unlock the potential of these magnificent terroirs while respecting the environment, Dominique Raimond employs every possible viticultural and winemaking technique to produce a great wine from the Blaye region. The whites are generally very aromatic, with lovely tension 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 Blaye region who maintain their own identities while sharing cellars and equipment in a cooperative spirit. Château Haut-Prieur is part of this association, and its 2016 vintage is superb.
