The wine then continues with careful \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for several months. This technique enriches the structure, giving the sip greater roundness and perfect harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe origins of \u003cstrong\u003eChâteau Bastor-Lamontagne\u003c\/strong\u003e date back to 1711, when the estate passed to Bordeaux councillor Vincent de La Montaigne.
