Van de hand van Denis Durantou, één van de meest getalenteerde wijnmakers op de steeds duurder wordende rechter oevers van de Gironde. Hij maakt ook de zeer gewilde Pomerol Eglise-Clinet. Deze Côtes de Castillon kost echter een schijntje daarvan en geeft zeer goede waar voor z'n geld.

Enkele jubelende wijncritici:

Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider 17/11/2023: 93 "If you know a better Right Bank for the money at this level of quality, let me know. Here, you find a lush, opulently-textured, plummy, chocolate. licorice and black cherry-filled wine that lingers. There is a lot of character here, and the wine sells for a song. Drink from 2023-2033."

93/100 James Suckling: "This is beautifully crafted for this appellation with soft, fine tannins that give the wine tension and focus. It’s medium-to full-bodied with polish and finesse. Really nicely done for this appellation. Give it another two or three years to soften even more. Try after 2022."

92/110 Robert Parker Wine advocate: "Produced by the late Denis Durantou of Château L’Eglise Clinet, the 2018 Montlandrie is a blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, with 14.5% alcohol, and it was aged in 40% new oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it comes storming out of the glass with powerful scents of stewed black plums, boysenberries, blackberry preserves and mocha, giving way to hints of tar, tobacco leaf and black truffles. The medium to full-bodied palate bursts with earth-laced black fruits, supported by finely grained tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. Delicious!"
