About the domain :

Dominique Raimond owns several châteaux in the Blayais and Bourgeais regions: Montfollet, one of the region's spearheads, Haut Lalande, Graulet, Merigot, Haut Grela and Puy d'Amour (13 ha organic). He is a member of the high-quality Cars cooperative (1937), renamed "Châteaux solidaires" in 2011, which vinifies separately the harvests of a dozen or so rigorously selected member châteaux.

About the wine :

A firm, dark red wine with aromas of dark chocolate, black plum and black bean. Medium-bodied, with chewy, slightly rustic tannins. Beautiful notes of chocolate and walnut on the finish. To be tried in 2024.

Note and review by M. MOISES B. Published on 01/03/2025

I don't agree with Hachette's comments. I find it very average, with an unpleasant taste of malbec. A bit of a disappointment
