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 2007 This is a nice wine, with rich, concentrated honeysuckle and melon notes, no real evidence of wood in the aromas or flavors, but actually it is barrel fermented. The wine is nicely textured, fleshy, and best drunk now or over the next 2-3 years.
	Chateau Mont Perat 2007 The 2007 Mont Perat exhibits abundant quantities of cedar, barbecue smoke, spicy herbs, and black cherry and currant fruit. This medium-bodied wine is best drunk over the next 3-4 years.
