About The Wine

Icon, noun. is "a person or thing regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration."

This wine? It’s the definition.

Think of it as the ultimate representative of its place - pure dedication, passion, and expertise bottled up and ready to blow your mind. Hand-selected from only the year's best parcels, this 2022 vintage hits you with wave after wave of dark fruit that just keeps coming.

Meet the legend behind the bottle: Dominique Raimond.

They call him "the man who makes Malbec sing" - and honestly? The nickname fits. This guy owns Chateau Montfollet, a family-owned artisanal winery sitting pretty in Blaye and Cotes de Bourg. Two of Bordeaux's best-kept secrets.

The location is absolutely wild. Picture this: vineyards planted on killer red clay and limestone slopes overlooking the Gironde estuary. And get this - they're positioned right across from the prestigious Grands Crus de Margaux.

You can literally see million-dollar vineyards from here.

We're talking 148 acres of prime vineyard real estate, all managed with sustainable practices and HEV Level 3 certification. Because doing things right matters.

Here's what makes Dominique special: Born and raised in Bordeaux, coming from a legendary winemaking family. He's not just respected - he's the emblematic winemaker everyone in the region knows. Plus, he's president of Chateaux Solidaires, a prestigious cooperative from 1937 that includes 10 top properties, all focused on sharing Bordeaux magic with the world.

Montfollet wines are made at Chateaux Solidaires using cutting-edge technology - the kind that produces wines competing with bottles costing way more.

Here's the payoff: The Raimond name has earned serious street cred in Bordeaux's tough wine world. Today, Dominique's wines from Chateau Montfollet and Puy d'Amour get global recognition and rave reviews from the world's top wine critics.

Translation: You're getting serious Bordeaux craftsmanship at an absolute unbeatable price.

2022 is an absolutely stellar vintage for Bordeaux Right Bank. It was blessed with a 97-point review by Wine Spectator, who declared: "Wines are very aromatic and expressive. A beautiful vintage."

Aging: 15 months in new French oak barrels.

60% Merlot, 10% Malbec, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot. Classic, old-world aromas, with notes of cassis, kirsch, cedar, and freshly laboured ground. The palate, however, is thoroughly modern, with waves and waves of dark fruit, violets, and vanilla. The finish is sophisticated, complex, plush, and refined.

CRITIC REVIEWS

What the Critics Said

The wine, with its hugely powerful texture and character, is young and full of black fruits. With fermentation and aging in wood, its potential is considerable. Drink this ripe, juicy wine from 2026 ~92 Wine Enthusiast
