“The Merlot (70%) and Cabernet, grown using organic farming methods (currently in transition), have produced this 2010 vintage, which is initially reserved but opens up to blackcurrant notes after swirling. Full-bodied and long on the palate, it reveals a soft, generous texture that envelops powerful yet smooth tannins. In two or three years, this characterful wine will pair well with game in sauce.” Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2014

About the wine:

This 30-hectare estate is situated around the Montforts’ other property and has been in the current owner’s family since 1602: the feudal castle of Monbadon, built in the 14th century by Edward III, King of England. Merlot (70%) and Cabernet, grown using organic farming methods (conversion in progress), have produced this 2010 vintage, which is initially reserved, opening up to blackcurrant notes after swirling. Full-bodied and long on the palate, it reveals a soft, generous texture that envelops powerful yet smooth tannins. In two or three years, this characterful wine will pair well with game in sauce.

Review by Mr. MICHEL D. Published on April 16, 2018

A classic example of the shortcomings of the 2010 Bordeaux wines, which are heavy on ripe Merlot and have far too much alcohol relative to their tannic structure.
