About the estate:

Dominique Raimond owns several châteaux in the Blaye and Bourgeais regions: Montfollet, one of the region's leading lights, Haut Lalande, Graulet, Merigot, Haut Grela, and Puy d'Amour (13 hectares of organic land). He is a member of the high-quality Cars cooperative (1937), renamed "Châteaux Solidaires" in 2011, which vinifies separately the harvests of a dozen member châteaux, selected with great rigor.

James Suckling

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

About wine:

A firm, dark red wine with aromas of dark chocolate, black plum, and black beans. Medium-bodied, with chewy, slightly rustic tannins. Beautiful notes of chocolate and nuts on the finish. Try it in 2024.

Note and opinion by Mr. MOISES B. Published on March 1, 2025

I disagree with Hachette's comments. I find it very average, with an unpleasant taste of Malbec. A little disappointing.
