Côte Montpezat

Appellation : Castillon – Côtes de Bordeaux

The 29 hectares of Château Côte Montpezat are located 40 km east of Bordeaux, along the right bank, with the continuity of the famous clay-limestone soils of Saint-Emilion. South facing, in the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, the vineyard is planted with 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. In 2003, the planting of 7200 white grape vines, on a gravelly-clay-limestone plateau extended the range offered made up of 40% Sauvignon blanc – 30% Sauvignon gris – 30% Semillon. This was further complimented in 2007, with the introduction of LE CANON de Côte Montpezat in Bordeaux Rosé appellation. Committed to an environmental management system, the vineyards are HVE 3 certified since 2019 and obtained the BEE FRIENDLY label in 2020.

The owner's pitch.

“Born in Calais and passionate about wine, I realised a dream when I became owner of the 29 hectares of Chateau Côte Montpezat. I immediately believed in the quality of this terroir. I learned from each plot and quickly became convinced that the quality of the grapes is the first condition to make a good wine. Today, we adapt our work to the needs of the vineyard while respecting the environment. This philosophy continues in the cellar with the same requirements of achieving ultimately one goal: to propose a wine for pleasure to be tasted young but suitable for a long ageing.”

Wines.

The Cuvée Compostelle is characterised by a beautiful dark red colour, with aromas of red fruit, blueberries, blackberries and black cherries, discreet spices on the nose and a palate, elegantly blended with hints of vanilla from the oak barrels with a fresh finish. Nicely balanced, drinkable now but its tannic structure makes it suitable for long ageing.
