Winemaker Notes
Dark ruby color, ripe red fruit aromas with soft and balanced tannins. Full and harmonious mouth, with a complex final length. This wine can age, showing silky notes over time.

James Suckling
Currants and spices on the nose. Full body, chewy and polished tannins, bright acidity and a flavorful finish. Chocolate and coffee undertones. Already delicious. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Monbadon Castle is one of the last surviving examples of medieval military architecture in Gironde. It was indeed at the beginning of the Hundred Years' War, April 24, 1330, that Edward III, King of England, gave "license" to Indie de Monbadon to fortify this advanced post Guyenne to monitor the valleys of Isle and Dordogne. Since 1602, under the reign of Henry IV, King of France and Navarre, the same family still owns the entire estate.
The vineyard of 25 hectares (20 of which are currently in production) is located for the most part on a clay-limestone plateau in the rocky subsoil whose altitude is 109 meters above sea level, very close to a of the two highest points of the Gironde: 114 meters.
