High grilled aromatics, touch of kirsch which is unusual in the vintage, along with liquorice, bitter chocolate, sweet damson fruits, estate signature if abrupt on the finish. Christian Dauriac owner, 7ha of vines.

The 2024 Montlisse has a touch of reduction on the entry, though I appreciate the mulberry and crushed strawberry scents that gain intensity in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied and harmonious with supple tannins and an elegant, mineral-driven finish. Excellent.
Flowers, cocoa, black cherries, licorice, and espresso offer their aromatics with little effort. Medium-bodied, soft, creamy, and fresh, with sweet, juicy chocolate mint accented salty fruits finish the wine. You can enjoy this in its youth, as well as age it for more complexities.
Another grand cru classé sporting a rather swanky new label for the new vintage. Assorted dark plums, damsons and loganberry vie for attention with the wild herbal notes – thyme and a little rosemary. Succulent and juicy on the palate with plenty of energy and vivacity, this is bright and dynamic. It manages the vintage well and will be accessible early.
