Heritage in the vineyard

Domaine

Château Montlandrie is a 12 hectare vineyard established at the end of the 19th century by an italian family. Denis Durantou, passionate about the Right Bank where he owns many estates – L’Eglise Clinet, La Chenade, Saintayme in particular – bought Montlandrie in 2009. It was, he explained, the only terroir where he really wanted to vinify grapes in Bordeaux after gravels and Pomerol clays.
