Jancis Robinson November - 2016
Jancis Robinson
Served blind initially. Subtle, dry but gorgeously smooth-textured with fully evolved tannins. Really fresh with great drive and energy - almost like a fully ripe Cabernet Franc. Savoury, leathery, firm yet round. Admirably long. No hurry to drink this.

A serious combination, Montrose and the 1982 vintage. And so it proved to be. Although not tasted recently, harmonious, excellent flavour but its ripe sweetness hardly denting its tannic astringency.

(2006) Intense aromas of kirsch, currant and spice follow through to a full-bodied palate, with round, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. This is complex, changing on the nose and palate. Layered and structured. Will improve for many years to come.

 I expected more ripeness and mid palate weight from this great vintage in a magnum. Rather, this wine is restrained, elegant and quite mellow rather than exuberant. Find cedar, tobacco and earthy flavors with tannins that are supple and velvety. Enjoy now.

Dark red. Medium intensity. Evolved. Clean. Medium intensity. Discreet. Animal touch. Powerful. Powerful. Warm. Cooked fruits. A bit cardboardy? Once again, this entry could be that of a Saint-Julien, then the wine evolved in the mouth, less refined than Gruaud Larose, smooth and melting with a slightly cardboardy taste. Fatty and enveloped tannicity for the vintage, with a tender taste and low acidity.

Château Château Montrose
Château Montrose

Château Montrose is one of the most iconic estates in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Classified as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it embodies the power, longevity and stylistic rigor characteristic of the great wines of the northern Médoc. Located at the southern tip of Saint-Estèphe, immediately bordering the Gironde, the estate benefits from an exceptionally homogeneous terroir, often compared to that of its greatest neighboring classified growths in Pauillac.

The Château Montrose vineyard extends over approximately 95 hectares in a single block, planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot. This composition gives the wines a deep structure, a marked aromatic intensity and a remarkable aging potential. The Montrose style is distinguished by its balance between controlled power, freshness and tannin precision.

Aged for approximately eighteen months in French oak barrels, this grand vin requires many years of cellaring. The estate counts among its legends 1921, 1929, the 1982 vintage and 1990, while the 2009 wine and the 2010 vintage proudly represent its recent period. La Dame de Montrose, the second selection born in 1983, offers a more approachable reading of the same terroir. The estate also produces a renowned second wine, La Dame de Montrose, crafted to the same exacting standards and offering a more accessible expression of the terroir.
