Chateau Plaisance Montagne Saint-Emilion

Montagne Saint-Emilion is what they call a satellite appellation of Saint-Emilion. The village of Montagne sits about five kilometres north of the town of Saint-Emilion, so it sits in the realm of Saint-Emilion but is technically it’s own appellation. Got that?

The thing you need to know is that there’s some great wine that comes out of Montagne-Saint Emilion. This appellation can get overlooked sometimes, which means you can get very good wine that punches above it’s price tag. Chateau Plaisance 2014 Montagne Saint-Emilion is one of those wines.

This is a typical right-bank Bordeaux blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is powerful, yet silky. It has supple tannins that seamlessly integrate into the wine, resulting in a very smooth and well-structured drop. The wine spent 12 months ageing in new oak barrels, and has since had nearly seven years ageing in the bottle. The time in the bottle has resulted in the wine starting to take on nice hints of tobacco and leather, however it’s held it’s ripe fruit character, so expect notes of raspberries and blackberry.

A wine of this calibre deserves a good food pairing. Pair Chateau Plaisance 2014 Montagne Saint-Emilion with slow cooked barbecued beef short rib.
