Les Vignobles Montagnac M Series


M Cabernet Sauvignon (750 ML - 13.0% VOL.)
Tasting: This wine has a very deep and dark colour. It is full-bodied, ample, solid and quite massive, due to the exceptional quality produced. Tannins are abundant without being too hard. Cabernet Sauvignon usually ripens lately when produced in the Mediterranean zone. But it always reveals a character of intense red fruits, delicate spices and a great sweetness. This wine can be enjoyed for immediate drinking; it will soften if cellared during one year.


M Syrah (750 ML - 13.0% VOL.)
Tasting: Originally grown around the Mediterranean sea, the Syrah give all its best when cultivated in regions with cold winters and hot summers. It is a very colourful and quite dark with plenty of aromas of crushed berry, violets, pepper and spices. The mouth is long, elegant and powerful.Balance between tannins and fruits is very elegant. This is a wine to drink with meats or spicy food.


M Merlot ( 750 ML - 13.0% VOL.)
Tasting: Notes of red black fruits, mouth filling, the long finish has hints of chocolate. Notes of cherry dominate on the nose and palate and a real freshness gives the wine good bite. The tannins are supple and their roundedness exactly what one expects from the Merlot grape. Delicious for young drinking, with its fresh fruit character. 

All the M series wines above are at an introductory price of S$22.50 per bottle

Discovering Montagnac




经过一年的辛勤耕耘,UVA Marketing 要向新加坡葡萄酒爱好者特别推介法国南部朗格多克(Languedoc)地区非常重要的一个酒厂,Les Vignobles Montagnac。这个酒厂是朗格多克非常有名一个“合作社”。她结合了当地的葡萄园园主,共同为一个目标前进,那就是酿制具有“海的特色”的葡萄酒。这个箴言象征了Les Vignobles Montagnac的地中海天气(温和的冬季和炎热的夏天)正孕育着他们的葡萄。不仅如此,该地区土壤中的石灰石,砂岩和花岗岩使得其酒更具趣味性。朗格多克(Languedoc)地区的葡萄栽种历史可追朔至公元前五世纪。而Les Vignobles Montagnac酒厂是在1930年代成立的。但是,这并没有成为Les Vignobles Montagnac追求创意的包袱。在酿酒过程中,Les Vignobles Montagnac尊重时间,传统和土地,同时又兼顾开放性。在接下来的博客里,UVA Marketing将一一介绍Les Vignobles Montagnac最重要的葡萄酒系列,M系列。

After one year of hardwork, UVA Marketing would like to introduce to Singapore wine lovers one of the very important winery in Languedoc region in Southern France, Les Vignobles Montagnac. This winery is one of the very famous co-operative in the Languedoc region. She integrates many vineyards in that region for a common motto: "the terroir of the sea". This motto signifies that the Mediterranean weather (mild winters and hot summers) is nurturing the grapes of Les Vignobles Montagnac. Not only that, the soil which contains limestone, sandstone and granite makes the wine interesting and enjoyable to drink. The history of grape plantation in the Languedoc region can be traced back to 5th centry BC and Les Vignobles Montagnac is founded in the 1930s. However, this does not prevent Les Vignobles Montagnac from pursuing innovation. In the process of wine marking, Les Vignobles Montagnac honours time, traditions and land, but it also gives consideration to openness. In the subsequent blog, UVA Marketing would present one of the most important series produced by Les Vignobles Montagnac, the M series.
