In a few words ...

Owned by the Bouygues family since 2006, this 2nd Cru Classé is one of Saint-Estèphe's most prestigious estates, sought after for its unfailing consistency. Montrose produces a wine of great class, racy in its aromatic expression, with a tight, silky tannic structure. It retains a magnificent freshness even in very hot vintages, which partly explains its impressive ageing potential. J. Suckling : 97-98/100

Tasting notes

Dense, dark garnet color, drawing on purple in its youth.

Aroma

The bouquet reveals notes of cassis, violet, mocha, vanilla, spices and licorice.

Taste

The wines of Saint-Estèphe have strong tannins and thus reach their maturity more slowly than most other medals. They offer black fruits, a note of freshness, often a woody or smoky aspect and a floral touch.
