Varietal: 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc
Alcohol: 14%
Tasting Notes: A sweet and inviting red wine bouquet, showing ripe fruit aromas of berries, cherry and blackcurrant, complemented by notes of toasted oak. The palate has good depth, with fine tannins, pleasant aromatics and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Enjoyable now and suitable for cellaring for 5–10 years.
Story Behind the Wine: The famous Japanese wine manga The Drops of God (神の雫) featured Château Mont-Pérat 2001 in its very first volume. In the story, Château Mont-Pérat 2001 famously defeats the iconic American estate Opus One, earning recognition as a “noble wine for the people.” It is even likened in the manga to the band Queen—classic yet strikingly modern.
