This elegant Bordeaux features mature tannins that frame black fruit flavors. The wine is bold but approachable, offering plenty of body while offering an appeal to a broad audience. Julie and Xavier Gonet-Médeville are, in many ways, the first couple of French wines. Both hail from storied winemaking families: Julie's family is famous for its incomparable Chateau Gilette, and Xavier comes from a long line of Champagne growers in Le Mesnil.

 Leading a new generation of winemakers, they bring their family knowledge, methods and passion to the many wines they now make together. Monplaisir is a Bordeaux Superieur adjacent to the appellation of Margaux. It is this proximity to the prestigious appellation that makes this wine a great value for the money - a rare find in Bordeaux.
