Château Pontac Monplaisir
Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend 2022
@Stefan Dolhain Have the 2019 on the wine list. Picked up a few cases for less than $20 USD a bottle. Rocking juice for the price with good depth/nice complexities. Will keep a eye out for this vintage. Cheers!

Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne Sauvignon Blanc 2014
Melon and bitter green apple. Subtle minerality. Soft creamy mouthfeel. Ok this part is crazy. But there is a familiar medium rare filet mignon thing going on on the mid palate. I think of sea salt and cracked black pepper with that silky filet texture. Very odd but I love how unique this wine presents itself! — 10 years ago

2022 vintage, 84% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 6% Cabernet Franc. This 16 hectares Pessac-Léognan vineyard ( 13 ha of red, and 3 of white)was just bought by the Domaines de Moncets group, which is moving to the left bank for the first time, as they already own Moncets and Chambrun in Lalande de Pomerol, La Bastidette in Montagne Saint- Émilion and the Saint-Emilion grand cru La Voûte. It seems that they won't have to start from scratch, given the quality of this 2022, with black cherries, blackberries, and Pessac-Léognan spiciness. Impeccable balance, concentration, purity of fruit, and serious complexity at this price point. Nice licorice finish. Great value, and an estate to watch. Abv. 14,5%. — 7 days ago
