Château Montifaud V.S. Review
Château Montifaud claims that the age of this V.S. is higher than the 2-year minimum for the classification. Whatever the actual aging time, this remains a youthful spirit, arriving light golden in color and remarkably fruity. Apple cider and pear aromas combine with honeysuckle on the nose, a profile that’s mimicked on the palate. Where there is oak influence, it shows itself in texture and body, with just a hint of tannins that help to elongate the finish. Drink with sparkling water, neat, or mixed in shaken summer cocktails.
