Tasting Notes

A deep garnet-red hue introduces this powerful yet refined Bordeaux. The nose is rich and expressive, bursting with aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and blackcurrants, complemented by layers of dark chocolate, vanilla, and toasted spices. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with smooth tannins and fresh acidity, leading to a long, complex finish with hints of espresso and oak.

Winemaking & Terroir

  • Grape Varieties: 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc
  • Aging: Matured in French oak barrels, enhancing texture and depth
  • Terroir: Clay-limestone soils, imparting minerality and structure

Food Pairing

This elegant yet powerful Bordeaux pairs beautifully with:

  • Prime ribeye steak or duck confit
  • Slow-cooked lamb shank or beef bourguignon
  • Aged cheeses like Comté, Pecorino, or Tomme de Savoie

The 2018 vintage was a fantastic year in Bordeaux, producing wines with great ripeness, depth, and balance. Château Côte Montpezat captures the richness of the vintage while maintaining the refinement and finesse of a top Right Bank wine.
