2009 Château Côte Montpezat, Côtes de Castillon, En primeur, 12-bottle case

6 – 8 years will enhance the blackfruit, spice and richness. Drink from 2015

This picturesque château is something of gem, having been extensively refurbished by Dominique Bessineau when he bought the estate in 1989. It is believed that pilgrims en route to St Jacques (Santiago) de Compestella, drank from the well here, and it became a postal relay in the seventeenth century, adding proof to the fact that this was a stop-over for the pilgrims. The vines are around 30-years-old, and this classy wine from the Côtes substantiates the old vine status with its depth of fruit and backbone.
