Château Montrose

Château Montrose is a well-regarded and critically much-lauded wine estate based in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of Bordeaux's northern Médoc region. The estate was ranked as a second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, and is regarded as one of the very best properties at that level. The epitome of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Montrose's top wine is known for its structure in youth, but beguiling many as it ages. 

Deep purple color. Dark fruit on the nose, fresh with a light gunsmoke and fennel seed tone to lift the cassis. The palate shows a clear Cabernet character, tight and focused with bright acidity and chewy, grippy tannins. Muscular but not heavy, this is a finely tuned Montrose with a cool ripeness and persistent, chalky texture.
