New Arrivals from Cave Mont Blanc

Perfect for Spring

Esprit de Pavie

The product of what many consider to be Bordeaux’s finest vintage of the decade, this is a no-brainer for anyone looking for a new weeknight red.

You’d be hard-pressed to find such consistent quality and complexity out of such an extensive range of single-vineyard Nebbiolos anywhere else.

“Just as I had expected, 2016 has turned out to be a truly magnificent vintage.
