Emblematic vintage of the estate for more than 50 years, Château Montaud red lets us foresee its fullness with its intense color, carmine, with purple garnet reflections.
Mainly composed of shale and sandstone, the domaine’s Permian soils are poor and thus require the wines to take root deeply. This allows them to benefit from the full characteristics of the land. The grapes flourish under the Mediterranean sun, which enables them to acquire their full flavor.
Well balanced and full-bodied. It has flavors of ripped red fruits that linger on with spicy touches. Red fruits aromas : cherries and black currents, but also green pimentos and liquorice on final.
This powerful wine goes with traditional cooking, game but also with cheeses and chocolate desserts.

"Still in its youth, this 2013 releases a complex, floral, fruity (strawberry) and spicy (pepper, curry) bouquet. Supple in the attack, the mouth then reveals vigorous tannins, which ask to melt, in order to deploy a soft and silky finish. A well-balanced ensemble that will age well.
Selection 2015"

"The editor's favorite.
Of a dark red, intense, its dress displays very beautiful tears on the walls of the glass, announcing the aromatic concentration which emerges from a complex nose on floral head notes (peony) and a liquorice bottom. The palate clearly brings out the prune with armagnac on integrated tannins and a persistent finish."

"Deep garnet color. The nose is anchored on red and black fruits, with a spicy background. On the palate, qualities of balance, fullness, texture, we praise its ripe fruit, its freshness, its density, its length, its fine tannins. A racy Provence, ready."
