"Transparent garnet. Pale rim. Light and very fruity nose. A little simple but delivers lots of pleasure. There's a hint of dried plums. Rich start, dry finish. Perhaps just a little hole in the middle but the persistence is impressive. 16/20", Jancis Robinson, MW, jancisrobinson.com, 17th February 2022
"Same owners as Ch Chambrun, and a slightly more old school Lalande de Pomerol interpretation of the vintage, meaning more red fruits, juicy with fresh acidities and higher floral aromatics. 90/100" Jane Anson, Decanter.com, 25th May 2020.
A properrty going back to to 1770, Moncets is undergoing a programme of investment and revitalisation, including conversion to organic viticulture beginning in 2018. There's a high (45 year old) average vine age.
