For the CGM, Montes chose Marchigüe in the Colchagua Valley, where granite-rich soils and the climate produce grapes with great character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis combination is best known from the South of France and the Rhône, but Montes gives it a distinctly Chilean twist. As a result, the wine has a beautiful combination of ripe fruit, spiciness, freshness and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA unique aspect of this wine is its maturation in concrete eggs. Montes uses large concrete vessels with an egg-shaped design for this purpose. Due to the natural movement of the wine during aging, the wine can develop without the character of oak being added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, a portion of the wine has only brief contact with French oak, creating subtle notes of toast and spices without the wood overpowering the fruitiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover more wines from the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/montes\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003eMontes winery\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine scores\/awards \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e92 points – Tim Atkin, 2022 vintage\u003cbr\u003e90 points – Wine Advocate, 2022 vintage\u003cbr\u003e90 points – Wines of Chile, 2022 vintage\u003cbr\u003e95 points - Decanter 2020 vintage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun fact \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCGM is actually a short abbreviation for a very classic Mediterranean combination: Carignan, Grenache and Mourvèdre.
