History
This is a family estate, inheriting the winemaking tradition from the Despagne family and the estate itself from the Rapin family. Maison Blanche is located on a thin strip of land in the southwest part of the village of Montagne. The estate is made up of old varieties of Cabernets and Merlot planted between 1943 and 1964 and it has been farmed biodynamically for almost ten years.
Regional Information
Maison Blanche is located in the village of Montagne, which lies between Lalande-de-Pomerol in the north and Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion in the south. The climate in Bordeaux is maritime, with sea breezes from the Atlantic having a cooling effect on the grapes grown here.
Current Vintage

Vinification Details
A blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from select parcels with the addition of grapes from the best terroir harvested for the Domaine's top cuvée. The wine was aged for 15 to 30 months in French oak barrels and in tanks. The wine has a moderate ageing potential and can be drunk in its youth.

Had this wine many a time

Brought this many a time, never had any issue with corks. I'd say it's slightly more intense than many reds, something I personally like.

Cork broke up. odour was awful and taste to match. Only purchased as Ocado recommended and £5 off. really found it unpleasant. would give zero stars but not possible.
