The estate at Chateau Mont Perat has been making great wines for hundreds of years. Mentioned in 1864 in the famous Féret wine guide as one of the best vineyards in Premieres Cote de Bordeaux, Chateau Mont Perat was brought by the Despagne family in 1998. The estate has around 105 Ha of grapes (mainly Merlot) and the wines are made in the Grand Cru style. Chateau Mont Perat's high quality wines are an excellent example of the potential of the Cotes region.

The estate came under the spotlight in 2005 when it was mentioned in the hugely popular Japanese manga series <<Drop of the Gods>>. The wine was likened to the music from the English band Queen and almost immediately following publication the number of Chateau Mont Perat devotees soared. Since then the wine has gone from strength to strength. Each recent vintage has shown great intensity of fruit and lush ripe tannins. The wines are ready to drink upon release and can keep for many years.

	Chateau Mont Perat Blanc 2008 Made from 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Semillon, this wine displays lovely aromas of grass, lime and citrus. With a hint of minerals and honey, it is warm and concentrated. Medium body, the acidity makes it fresh and balanced. A Bordeaux Blanc “must try”.
	Chateau Mont Perat 2009 From the Despagne family, this is another excellent sleeper of the vintage offering attractive notes of black currants, spice box, earth, and herbs. An opaque ruby/purple-tinged, generous, fleshy wine that flows across the palate with no hard edges, it should drink well for 3-4 years
