Château Pierre de Montignac 2012
Médoc AOC Cru Bourgeois
Loading...
Here’s a pretty claret with two Golds and well priced to boot. It’s a perfectly mature Cru Bourgeois Médoc from a vintage that’s now really coming into its own. Yet, there's no rush. Mature, complex red fruits with gentle oak from a year in barrel.
We're sorry, this wine is sold out.
But don't worry, you'll find plenty more handpicked wines here.

The Wine
Bordeaux’s left bank appellation of Médoc is home to bold, classic claret that’s made to last. Even better, Château Pierre de Montignac is Cru Bourgeois – a classification that is awarded each year to wines of exceptional quality and depth. It’s a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that’s aged for 12 months in oak. It’s from Bordeaux’s 2012 vintage, an under rated vintage whose best wines – like this – are now drinking perfectly. Roger Voss of Wine Enthusiast was hugely impressed: “For the vintage, this is a ripe, bold wine. Layers of delicious black fruits are supported by firm tannins and the right amount of wood aging. Balanced and dense, it will age well.” Stand the bottle upright a few hours and pour carefully in case of sediment.
