About the wine:

This Merlot from gravelly soils offers structure, body, and excellent balance. In this fresh vintage, it remains full-bodied, with silky tannins and a lively finish. Enjoy it with a Provençal stew or roast beef. 2026–2033

About the estate:

Dominique Raimond owns several châteaux in the Blaye and Bourgeais regions: Montfollet, one of the region’s leading estates, Haut Lalande, Graulet, Merigot, Haut Grela, and Puy d’Amour (13 hectares of organic vineyards). He is a member of the highly regarded Cars cooperative (founded in 1937), renamed “Châteaux solidaires” in 2011, which vinifies the harvests of about ten member châteaux—selected with great rigor—separately.

Wine rated (2023 guide) 90/100

About the wine:

A firm, dark red wine with aromas of dark chocolate, black plum, and black bean. Medium-bodied, with chewy, slightly rustic tannins. Lovely notes of chocolate and nuts on the finish. Best enjoyed in 2024.

Review by Mr. MOISES B. Posted on March 1, 2025

I don't agree with Hachette's comments. I find it very average, with an unpleasant taste of Malbec. A bit of a letdown
