A Second Cru of classical proportions and considerable longevity

- Montrose exemplifies the restrained elegance characteristic of the finest Saint-Estèphe. The wine achieves a harmonious equilibrium between power and refinement, neither overwhelming nor diminishing.

In the mouth
Elegant and fresh on the palate, with a supple mid-palate and a lengthy, earthy finish. The tannins are well-integrated, providing structure without harshness. The wine displays the characteristic mineral quality of the appellation.
On the nose
Expressive bouquet of blackcurrant and dark chocolate, with prominent violet aromatics. Secondary notes of graphite and cedar emerge with aeration, suggesting the wine's underlying structure.
On the eye
Deep garnet robe with considerable intensity and definition
Breeding
Aged 18 months in 60% new French oak barrels.
Montrose 2017 pairs admirably with red meats and white meats alike. Consider it alongside lamb tagine with dried fruits, pork fillet, or roasted veal chops. The wine's acidity and mineral character complement rich sauces and game preparations. Decant one hour before service to allow the aromatics to fully develop.
