The color is deep, the expressive and elegant nose reveals notes of white flowers. On swirling, more complex aromas of ripe black fruit, smoke and toast are revealed. On the palate, the attack is frank and elegant, real velvet accompanied by silky tannins. We find a very nice balance and a very fine and defined wine. The very long finish reveals woody and liquorice notes.

This wine is a blend of 29% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 67% Cabernet Sauvignon

Endowed with undeniable natural wealth combined with assets cultivated over the centuries, Château Montrose is one of the most privileged wine-growing areas in the Bordeaux region.
The 95-hectare vineyard has the exceptional and very rare particularity of being historically all in one piece, around the Château, the cellars and the farm buildings. This unit facilitates the work of the vineyard. It allows a global reflection on the vineyard, an optimal vigilance on the sanitary state of each plot and a more efficient organisation of the work of the vine.
The terroir of Château Montrose corresponds to what geographers call “elite nuclei”. A complex geological pile of several million years favoured the creation of this hilltop benefiting from a natural drainage towards the estuary, ideal for the production of great wines.

On these terraces, we find a soil of gravel mixed with sand on the surface and a subsoil, richer in clay, allowing the formation of a natural reserve in which the vine will draw, in depth, the water from which it requires.

At Château Montrose, the largest plot has two hectares, the smallest a few ares, but each has its own personality, its own name, its own soil or subsoil, and has a vine whose age, yield , the grape variety or the rootstock, is different from the neighbouring plot.
This incredible puzzle of lands is found in the wines produced in Montrose since they are both the result and the synthesis of each micro-terroir.

Goes wonderfully with wild boar stew, meats, game birds, beef in puff pastry accompanied by chanterelle mushrooms and foie gras.
