Simply delicious Bordeaux from the talented young Mathieu Ternault. A recent visit reminded us of the immense quality of the work he is doing here at this well placed family estate. As we stood in front of the winery looking out over the neighbouring properties like Cheval Blanc, VCC and Chateau Petrus who are just over the Barbanne stream, it really brought home the outstanding position of the Montaiguillon vineyards and when you taste this Merlot heavy Claret the quality is clear. Tasting against far greater names this is a standout bargain - elegant, with a lovely weight of fruit - but high toned and very true - this hits all the right notes. A sadly all too rare bargain for this part of the world - this will not disappoint. L&S (Aug 2023)

The 2022 Montaiguillon has an attractive bouquet with touches of blackberry, blueberry and pressed violet. It's well defined and quite understated. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, balanced and poised with more elegance on the finish than many of its peers. This is worth seeking out.

The 2022 Montaiguillon has a well-defined nose with red berry fruit mixed with blueberry and violets. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grain tannins, well-integrated oak and definitely one of the fresher finishes amongst the Montagne Saint-Émilions tasted.

Château Montaiguillon

A well regarded 28ha property on the borders of St Georges-St Emilion owned by the Amart family since 1949 and run for the last 20 years by the charming Chantal. Michel Rolland advises.
