Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
(Ed 1998) A surpisingly light, innocuous style of Montrose, the 1985 exhibits a medium ruby color, followed by pleasant but washed-out aromas of sweet red currants, earth, and herbs. This medium-bodied wine displays some charm and sweet fruit on the attack, but it narrows out in the mid-palate and finish. There is also angular tannin and herbaceousness in the after-taste. While it is an above average, good wine, in terms of Montrose, it is disappointing.

Another fine northern Médoc wine, with tar, coffee and fruit character; medium- to full-bodied and very firm.

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 Second Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it embodies the power, longevity and stylistic rigor characteristic of the great wines of northern Médoc. Located at the southern tip of Saint-Estèphe, directly bordering the Gironde estuary, the estate benefits from a terroir of rare homogeneity, often compared to that of the greatest classified growths neighboring Pauillac.

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

Among the most remarkable vintages are Château Montrose 1921, Château Montrose 1989, Château Montrose 1990, Château Montrose 1996, Château Montrose 2000, Château Montrose 2009, Château Montrose 2010, Château Montrose 2015, regularly acclaimed for their concentration and aging potential. The estate also produces a renowned second wine, La Dame de Montrose, crafted with the same quality standards and offering a more accessible expression of the terroir.
