Appellation : Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé
Chateau Monlot
In the heart of the commune of Saint-Hippolyte, the history of Château Monlot began in the 13th century, when it was nothing more than a hunting lodge for King Louis XIII. Over the following centuries, the château was given the name Monlot as land was parcelled out. Today, with a vineyard of almost 7 hectares, 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, Château Monlot strives to bring out the very best in this exceptional terroir. Its two wines, Château Monlot and Héritage de Monlot, reflect this, with two very different wines highlighting the different characteristics of the estate’s soils.

Château Monlot
With a clay-limestone soil worthy of the best Saint-Emilion terroirs, Château Monlot is the assurance of a balanced, complex wine that will surprise you with its soft tannins and long finish. Thanks to a rigorous selection of berries, this wine reveals the very best of the Saint-Emilion terroir through a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the appellation’s flagship grape varieties.
Héritage de Monlot
Its fresh, fruity character makes it an easy wine to enjoy. The omnipresence of Merlot gives it roundness, while the tannins are present but silky, with a lively bouquet of red fruit.
