Tasting Note

The remarkable 2021 Montrose gets my nomination for the title of "wine of the vintage" in the Medoc. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis and dark berries mingled with subtle hints of mint, orange, pencil shavings and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered and multidimensional core of fruit underpinned by beautifully ripe, refined tannins. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, it entirely transcends the limitations of the year. This young classic, reminiscent of the estate's 1996 but far better, is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. - William Kelley, Robert Parker Wine Advocate 97/100

Château Montrose is a distinguished Bordeaux wine from the Saint-Estèphe appellation. This award-winning red, renowned for its superb longevity and impressive structure, embodies depth, complexity and balance. It welcomes you with intense, vibrant red fruit aromas, followed by intricate notes of cocoa, truffles, and spicy undertones. The palate promises full-bodied richness, supported by firm yet refined tannins, leading to a splendidly long finish. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, it exudes both power and elegance, a testament to the château's outstanding vineyards and expert winemaking. An exceptional companion for robust meat dishes.
