Notes of blackberry, raspberry, blood orange and bitter plum are supported by tobacco and laurel, and the wine appears focused and complete.<\/p>\n
It is said that a bottle of Montrose is best in the cellar for many years, but when you finally open it, the wine is an almost divine revelation. Some of the best Bordeaux can produce.<\/p>\n
The grapes are harvested from the property’s best parcels, a large part of which is grown organically. They are vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks of varying sizes, and the wine, which, depending on the vintage, consists of a blend of 60-65 per cent. cabernet sauvignon, 30 per cent. merlot and the rest cabernet franc and petit verdot, aged for 18 months in French oak barrels – of which 60 per cent. new.<\/p>\n
The result is a huge, tannin-rich red wine with tight structure, precise acidity and a clean, refined fruit. Can develop for a minimum of 30 years.<\/p>\n
“Oh this is good, it steals up on you with real depth of flavour, stately and concentrated in a way that reminds me of a 1996 or a 2016. Extremely measured, very clear that this is going to age effortlessly, it is extremely discreet and yet packed with persistent flavours. A masterclass in the flavors and aromatics that you expect in a great M\u00e9doc wine – slate, crushed stones, savory blackcurrant, hints of smoke and cold ash. After five minutes in the glass the sweeter berry fruit comes out, and the whole thing is sappy and mouthwatering, and makes you smile. ” – Decanter<\/p>\n
About Ch\u00e2teau Montrose
\nCh\u00e2teau Montrose (2. Cru Class\u00e9) forms, side by side with Cos d’Estournel, the Superliga of the Saint-Est\u00e9phe appellation. Powerful and concentrated, the castle’s wines are loved by the world’s top critics from Hong Kong to Napa Valley. So much so that it is often referred to as “Latour from Saint-Est\u00e8phe”.<\/p>\n
We have to go back to the end of the 18th century to find the foundation stones of Ch\u00e2teau Montrose. Here the castle was separated from Ch\u00e2teau Calon-S\u00e9gur. In 1855, the ch\u00e2teau was honored with the classification as 2. Cru, while Calon-S\u00e9gur had to settle for a classification as 3. Cru. Ch\u00e2teau Montrose has 68 hectares of vineyards in a single parcel around the ch\u00e2teau in a layout that has largely not changed since the classification in 1855.<\/p>\n
