Montlobre Estate is over 300 years old and steeped in history. In the 19th century, the buildings were adapted to become a penal colony run by the clergy for the education of wayward young people. Some may have been criminals, but others were sent there by their parents.<\/p>\n
The cellar of Montlobre was designed by one of Ledoux’s students, a famous architect of Louis XV. The aesthetic style is characterised by the pillars supporting the roof of La Chapelle. Most of the buildings had not been used for about a century, but during the 2000s they were renovated to restore their original charm. The Estate is now a celebrated winery.<\/p>\n
Montlobre Septem Quercus 2018 is a delight. It\u2019s a wine that will improve still further by being laid down for a few years. The label is appealing with a vellum texture and stained-glass window graphic. It raises the expectation of a quality wine soon to be enjoyed.<\/p>\n
