The best St Estèphe, well constructed, surprisingly sweet.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(02-1997)
Montrose has been one of Bordeaux's most consistently successful chateaux since 1989. This is a dark rubypurple-colored wine with a grilled meat, peppery, spicy, black fruit-scented nose, medium body, surprisingly sweet fruit and softness, moderate tannin, and a well-balanced, firm, concentrated personality. It will benefit from 2-4 years of cellaring, and will last for 15 years (one of the longer-lived wines of the vintage).

Château informations

Montrose

Château Montrose, ranked second growth in the 1855 classification, is a vineyard in Bordeaux of 68 hectares located in Saint-Estèphe.

The Château Montrose is made up of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%), Merlot (25%) and Cabernet Franc (10%). The grapes undergo a long fermentation of 25 to 30 days. The wine matures for 19 to 22 months in oak barrels, new to 50%. The wines of Château Montrose are intense, massive, complex. They develop aromas of ripe fruit, spices and tobacco. The wines of Château Montrose are both powerful and dense, characteristic of the great wines of Saint-Estèphe. The second wine is called La Dame de Montrose.
