Château Bastor-Lamontagne is located in Preignac, in one of the five villages of the Sauternes appellation. The vineyard consists of 53 hectares of vines planted in a single block and surrounded by 35 hectares of woodland. The sandy-gravel and clay-limestone terroir produces very elegant wines with a great deal of freshness. The estate takes its name from Chevalier de la Montaigne, a councillor of the Bordeaux Parliament who acquired it in 1711. Indicated on Belleyme’s famous map dating back to the late 18th century, “Bastore” was considered a high-ranking estate from the outset. The château’s golden age, however, came in the 19th century under the management of Amédée Larrieu, who also owned Château Haut-Brion in Pessac.
Château Bastor-Lamontagne has always prized itself on making fruity, well-balanced wines. Often referred to as “modern Sauternes”, the estate’s well-balanced, elegant wines make them suited to all occasions. Although it ages very well, Bastor-Lamontagne is also delicious young thanks to its vivaciousness and elegance.
