Château La Fleur Grands Landes 2009 Montagne Saint-Emilion is a wonderfully, smooth, plum-scented claret, with wonderful spicy hints. Like a fine Saint-Emilion, but at a fraction of the price, this is winemaker Isabelle Fort's creation. The wine is made from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet, with a touch of oak.
Montagne-Saint-Émilion is an appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) in Bordeaux, where it is situated in the Libourne sub region, on the right bank of the Dordogne. It was granted AOC status on 14 November 1936. A mere 1,570 hectares (3,900 acres) of vineyards are planted, with a production of 74,130 hectolitres.
Montagne-Saint-Émilion only produces red wine, and nearly all of the grape varieties from Bordeaux are used, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Côt, although Merlot is most often used.
