The Emotion of Time and Land. A landscape, of stone, light and vines in the heart of the Saint-Emilion appellation. A family property, an architectural and winegrowing heritage, an uncompromising and convivial spirit. A history rooted in Saint-Emilion and influenced by the 18th century Age of Enlightenment. A new page, a new sustainable winemaking inspiration. A way of life, an understated, elegant and open-hearted hospitality. Between the acquisition of Château Montlabert in 2008 and the inauguration in 2020, the Castel family invested time and resources into drawing up the outline of a new history and a new ambition. For 10 years, the focus has been on listening to and understanding the terroir in order to build a winery based on sustainable excellence. Hospitality is part of the very soul of Montlabert. This is why the estate has decided to open its doors to wine enthusiasts seeking to discover a property, a family and an appellation through its wines.
