“Dark red. Dense. Black highlights. Slight evolution. Brilliant color. Beautiful. Clean. Very intense, rich and complex. Fruity, woody, and spicy. Quite cool notes. Intense. Shades of tawny yet always fruity with notes of crème fraîche, wood, and liquorice. Good. Clean attack: ample and suave. Has developed a powerful structure of a round, concentrated form which evolves to show its notable balance; tasty, tasty, very complex, fruity, and very spicy, progressing toward a fat finale, with slightly melted tannins, and very long-finishing. Very stylish. Great wine, a bit austere, but racy with indefinitely mouth-puckering tannins.”

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
The world's largest fine-wine region, built around blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Divided by the Gironde estuary into the structured Left Bank and the plush, Merlot-led Right Bank, it is the historic benchmark for age-worthy claret and sweet Sauternes.
Chateau Montrose is a Second Growth estate in Saint-Estephe, Bordeaux, renowned for powerful, structured and exceptionally long-lived Cabernet-dominated wines.
The world's most planted premium red grape, yielding deeply colored, tannic and structured wines with cassis, cedar and graphite notes. Firm tannins and acidity make it exceptionally age-worthy, whether as a varietal or the backbone of a Bordeaux blend.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
