Some wines quietly earn their place in the CountryClubuk Cellar. Château Moncets is one of them. The outstanding 2019 vintage has produced a Bordeaux of remarkable balance, combining the generosity of ripe Merlot with the freshness, structure and elegance that distinguish the finest wines of the Right Bank. Beautifully expressive today, it also possesses the balance to reward careful cellaring over the coming decade.
Situated in Lalande de Pomerol, immediately neighbouring some of Bordeaux’s most celebrated estates, Château Moncets benefits from exceptional terroir on the doorstep of Pomerol itself. The result is a wine that consistently offers the charm, refinement and silky texture associated with its famous neighbours while representing exceptional value for discerning claret lovers.
The CountryClubuk Wine Tasting Panel are delighted to recommend the 2019 vintage. Alongside its generous black cherry and plum fruit lie notes of cedar, graphite, gentle spice and beautifully integrated oak, supported by refined tannins and a long, harmonious finish. It is a wine that captures everything we admire about modern Right Bank Bordeaux: richness without excess, elegance without austerity and superb balance throughout.
International critics have also recognised the quality of the 2019 vintage, praising both its concentration and poise. Yet what impressed the CountryClubuk Tasting Panel most was not simply its pedigree, but its remarkable drinkability and versatility at the table.
