Château Montlisse
9 notes Sort by: Vintage - Name - Rating
2023
Château Montlisse (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Vibrant, black cherries, flowers, spice, and plums pop with little effort. The soft, lush, mineral-driven palate is vibrant, with an oaky-edge at the moment, so give it a year or two, and it should come together nicely. You can enjoy this in its youth, as well as age it for more complexities. 2026-2038. 91-93 Pts. 1,128 Views Tasted May 4, 2024 |
2022
Château Montlisse (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Deeply colored, the wine is soft, supple, fresh, and refined, with layers of lifted, sweet, fruits, toasty oak, mint leaf, and cocoa, with the essence of crushed rocks, and stones coming in at the end of the finish. You can enjoy this in its youth, as well as age it for more complexities. 2026-2042. 92-94 Pts. 2,106 Views Tasted May 8, 2023 |
2021
Château Montlisse (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Espresso, dark chocolate, smoked herbs, black cherries and black raspberries for the core of the nose. On the palate, the wine is spicy with espresso accents to red fruit on the medium-bodied, fresh, polished palate. This will be easy to enjoy in its youth, yet it should also age up to a decade or more. Drink from 2024-2036. 793 Views Tasted Mar 9, 2024 |
2020
Château Montlisse (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
It is still a bit oaky on the nose at this point, once past the oak you find a medium-bodied palate chocked of chocolate-coated cherries, licorice, spice and espresso. There is a burnt coffee edge to the finish here that could dissipate with a few years in the bottle. Drink from 2023-2034. 824 Views Tasted Mar 21, 2023Smoked fruits, chocolate, flowers and spice create the perfume. Medium-bodied, soft, polished and fresh, with a silky, red berry, spice, coffee bean and mocha toned finish, this is going to be quite nice with just 3-5 years of aging. 90-92 Pts 1,761 Views Tasted May 20, 2021 |
2019
Château Montlisse (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
Medium-bodied, silky and fresh, the red cherries, flowers, black raspberry and espresso notes come through on the nose and on the palate with ease. Vibrant and already easy to taste, this will be easy to enjoy in its youth, yet it should also age quite nicely. Drink from 2022-2033. 865 Views Tasted Mar 29, 2022Dark with purple accents, the nose of flowers, licorice, spice, smoke and dark red pit fruits resonate. Rich, round, lush and plush, with silky tannins and a blast of sweet chocolate covered fruits taste and feel great. 92-94 Pts 2,978 Views Tasted Jun 8, 2020 |
2018
Château Montlisse (St. Émilion Grand Cru)
