The 2011 Château Montaiguillon comes from a single 28 hectare plot adjacent to Pomerol and the Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classés. It consists of 40 year-old (mostly Merlot) vines with roots digging deep into the hallowed clay-limestone terroir. The wine delivers aromas of blackberries and cherry followed by pain grille, minerals and lightly roasted coffee, which burst from the glass. The mineral-driven palate is medium to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins, finishing up with nice length, marked by flavors of blackberry and spices. This is a fantastic showing in this vintage.
