Château Monsan Estebe is family owned just a mile or so from the city of Bordeaux. A hundred years ago it was fruit trees and a dairy pasture now thanks to the the vision and efforts of  Régis and Hervé Grandeau who control the estate today it has 135 acres of vines on good clay and limestone soils planted mainly to Merlot.

90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, grapes are harvested at their optimal maturity and destemmed. A cold maceration for 3 to 4 days to extract the color and soft tannins is followed by a temperature-controlled fermentation. with an extended skin maceration up to 25 days.

This wine shows deep ruby red color and a powerful nose with gorgeous red fruit, minerals and earthy undertones. On the palate it's supple and well balanced with ripe fruit, cassis, tobacco and dark chocolate notes in a very forward and friendly style. A lingering finish is punctuated by soft tannins and mineral nuance.
