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.

Rated wine (guide 2023) 90/100
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.
