Château Montcabrier is a vineyard of the Milhade family estate, Château Recougne, located on the right bank of Bordeaux, in the Fronsadais. This property has produced wine for more than 400 years, and has always been recognized for producing outstanding wine. Its name is said to have come from French King Henri IV, in “recognition” (‘recougne’) of the quality of its wine. The Milhade family purchased the property in the mid 1930s, and Château Recougne has become their flagship estate, producing quintessential Bordeaux each vintage. The work of several generations has positioned Château Recougne as one of the key estates for Bordeaux Supérieur Red wines. The Château Montcabrier’s grapes, harvested and vinified separately from Chateau Recougne, come predominantly from clay and sandy soils and offer a refined style dominated by the freshness of fruits.

Merlot is best suited to the gravelly clay terroir and is the majority planting here, comprising about 80% of the vineyard, complemented by equal parts of both Cabernets. The parcels set aside for Moncabrier include those planted on marley clay, with less gravel, and younger vines throughout the estate. The Milhades employ environmentally friendly viticultural techniques, minimal spraying, low yields through green harvesting, and excellent canopy management.

James Suckling "Linear and tight with black-cherry and blueberry character. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a flavorful finish. Nicely crafted for this appellation." (2016 vintage)

Wine Enthusiast "...his is a rich wine in every way. Lush black fruits, smooth tannins and a bold structure combine to exude power and density." (2016 vintage)

Château Guillotin wines have been blended and then bottled using the un-oaked part of our production, then aged in Inox stainless steel vats.

They are therefore fruitier by nature, when younger they are full with red fruits, lively in the mouth with juicy fresh tannins. The older vintages are more complex in structure with black fruits (cherry, plum…) predominant, they also have drier silkier tannins.

Château Guillotin has a long-standing winemaking tradition dating back to 1730, passed down through generations. Its original label features organic red wines known for their full-bodied, fruity character with rich red forest fruit notes. A special selection, honouring the estate’s founders Chevalier and Daviaud, is matured in new French oak barrels, giving it a mellow, oaky flavour and accounting for about a fifth of total production. The Saint-Émilion region, where the estate is located, gained prominence in the 18th century during the Enlightenment, with its wines valued for their quality, ageing potential, and suitability for transport—driven by innovations introduced by visionary winegrowers of the time.

The family estate extends on more than ten hectares over Montagne Saint-Émilion and Puisseguin Saint-Émilion AOC. Facing South/South-East, the hillside vineyard has benefited from the care of the Richard-Nicoletti family. Respectful of nature, the cultivation practices chosen by Julien Richard (3rd generation) tend towards a single goal : to respect the biodiversity of the soil and the environment in order to harvest healthy grapes and produce quality wine. The vineyard has been certified organic since 2023. After a strict selection and meticulous work in the vineyard, the fruits are picked by hand and sorted twice. Part of the wine is aged in oak barrels for about 12 months. The result is a gourmet wine with an assertive character that elegantly expresses the power of the terroir.

The Puisseguin-Saint-Émilion Appellation, established in 1936, sits at the highest elevation (89 m) in the Saint-Émilion region. Its south and southeast exposure creates ideal conditions for ripening grapes. The hilly terrain features clay-limestone soils over rock, allowing vines to absorb essential nutrients and thrive even during hot, dry summers.
