today, we received the remarks of a famous English wine critic,  Jancis Robinson, who tried our new white wine (one of the rare few in the Côtes de Castillon area). She graded it 15.5+and classed it in the 44 best Bordeaux white wines.

ROBERT PARKER  WINE NOTE- 21/04/06

87-89 was the grade Mr Robert PARKER gave our chateau Cote Montpezat 2005.

“Another sleeper of the vintage, this deep ruby/purple-colored wine processes sweet floral, cranberry and blackberry notes along with a hint of cold steel. Medium-bodied, ripe and forward, with loads of fruit, glycerin and soft tannin, it should be consumed during its first 7-8 years of life.”
