Critic Notes
Chinese actress Zhao Wei certainly knows how to pick good advisors - Jean-Claude Berrouet in the cellar and Claude Bourguignon in the vineyard. She and her team also know how to make impressive wine on the evidence of this, the fourth release under the new ownership. Concentrated, yet refined, with silky tannins, notes of sweet spices, aromatic oak and a thread of acidity. Apr 2016, www.timatkin.com, Drink: 2025-2032
Score: 94-/100 Tim Atkin Drinking Window: 2025-2032
The 2015 Monlot is a gorgeous, deep Saint-Émilion endowed with striking texture and richness. A host of deeply spiced, mentholated notes meld into a core of dark red and black fruits as this fleshy, succulent Saint-Émilion shows off its inviting personality. Deep, layered and wonderfully vivid in the glass, the 2015 offers lovely intensity in a forward, fruit-driven style. Today, it is the wine's balance and sheer appeal I find most attractive of all.
