Montravel Blanc "Reserve"

James Suckling about the 2020 vintage: Grilled pineapple, cooked lemon, white lavender, cedar and smoked almond on the nose. Full-bodied with nice acidity and a creamy, concentrated and well-balanced mouthfeel. Excellent focus and length. Well done. 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% sauvignon gris. To drink or age. 92/100.

Yves Beck about the 2021 vintage: Marked by subtlety, this Montravel reveals notes of lily of the valley and white peaches. It also conveys its characteristics well on the palate where they are supported by a slight salinity and a rich mouthfeel. A rich, expressive and persistent wine. Now – 2026. 91/100.

Hachette Wine Guide 2024 about the 2021 vintage: Three Stars / Favorites.

La Tulipe Rouge Guide about the 2021 vintage: The nose opens with great intensity and distinction with aromas of mandarin, freshly cut white flowers, this voluminous and concentrated wine offers an oily texture and an astonishing natural richness for the vintage, perfectly balanced by a liveliness which contributes to a saline and energetic finish. In just a few years, this château has become one of the benchmarks for Bergerac, and this Reserve cuvée perfectly embodies its new status. 92/100.

Montravel Blanc “Chateau”

James Suckling about the 2020 vintage: Baked apples, sliced pears, lemons, cloves and a little white chocolate on the nose. Full-bodied with a dense, creamy and subtly spicy taste. Excellent length and focus. A hint of barrel tannin on the compact finish. 57% sauvignon blanc, 29% semillon and 14% sauvignon gris. Drink now or wait. 92/100.

La Tulipe Rouge Guide about the 2021 vintage: The château cuvée is a complete wine, very intense, with fruitiness of beautiful purity which evokes yellow-fleshed fruits, with citrus notes. Round, concentrated, marked by cooked fruits and enhanced with menthol, the mouth delights and indulges without restraint. 89/100.

Montravel Rouge "Reserve"

La Tulipe Rouge Guide about the 2020 vintage: The reserve cuvée impresses from the first nose with the power and quality of its fruit: aromas of black cherries and juicy raspberries mingle with the fresh oak and smoky touches. Kneaded with fruit, rich, concentrated and powerful, the palate is just as impressive. The Montravel terroir is fully expressed in this sophisticated, ambitious and extroverted wine. This is an area that never ceases to surprise us. 92/100
