Our RED Wines

Domaine Montlobre’s main focus is on creating RED concentrated MERLOT and dominated MERLOT wines with just small percentage of Cabernet-Sauvignon grapes, which all mature on the finest Oak Barrels for a period between 10 to a maximum of 18 months.


The total wine production is limited between approx. 40 to 50 Hectolitres per hectare, depending on the vintage of course and making  our Red wines extremely concentrated with a power, broad structure. The general characteristics for a Montlobre wine are: harmony, rich, creamy, broad fruit and soft oak velvety tannins.


One of Domaine Montlobre most successful red wine is “LA CHAPELLE”, a BIG complex type of Pomerol styled ROUGE, which is mainly crafted out of super healthy MERLOT grapes and a small part of Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in the picturesque barrique cellar ‘La Chapelle’ on small fine oak barrels of 225 litters for approx. 12 month.


Montlobre’s most treasured and BEST wine cuvee is the “Tête de Cuvée NOIRE”, the absolute ‘Crème de la Crème’ of Domaine Montlobre. A beautiful crafted 100% Merlot wine of an exceptional high quality, which matures on a selection of the very finest Premium French Oak Barrels like Radoux, Sylvain, Taransaud & Sequin Moreau, for a period of approx. 12 to 18 months.

 

 

More Wines...

Next to Montlobre’s RED dominated MERLOT wines, we yearly create a small quantity of a most delicate ROSÉ wine, “LA COLONIE ROSÉ”. This ROSÉ is not pressed and is famous for its natural unprecedented purity. It’s gently filtrated to clean the ‘juice’ and is fermented on a low temperature like a white wine. Our ROSÉ will have an interaction on it’s healthy ‘lies’ (élève sur lie) for at least 3 months, to preserve that special rich, fruity freshness with an elegant, low acidity level.


Next to our successful RED & ROSÉ wines, we also carry a delicious, crispy WHITE wine, “Tête de Cuvée BLANC”.  It’s our proudly crafted ‘marriage’ between a noble and juicy Chardonnay and a fat fruitful bodied Viognier, which we personally and carefully select from surrounding cool micro climate vineyards in our region. It’s an incredible ‘high quality’ WHITE wine, with an instant crispy freshness & an amazing exotic rich fruitful bodied bouquet, simply delightful!
