Description
With its undeniable natural wealth and assets cultivated over the centuries, Château Montrose is one of the most privileged wine-producing areas in the Bordeaux region.
The 95-hectare vineyard has the exceptional and very rare characteristic of being historically in one piece, around the Château, the cellars and the farm buildings. This unity facilitates the work of the vineyard. It allows a global reflection on the vineyard, an optimal vigilance on the sanitary state of each parcel and a more efficient organisation of the work of the vine.
The terroir of Château Montrose corresponds to what geographers call the "elite nuclei". A complex geological stacking of several million years has favoured the creation of this ridge, which benefits from a natural drainage towards the estuary, ideal for the production of great wines.
This incredible puzzle of soils is reflected in the wines produced at Montrose as they are both the result and the synthesis of each micro-terroir.

Tasting
The colour is dense and deep.
The nose, slightly iodized, is intense and complex. Agitation reveals notes of blackcurrant and very ripe fruit.
The attack is powerful with extremely fine and velvety tannins. The mid-palate is suave and dense, with a beautiful aromatic expression. The finish is long and elegant.
A wine of incredible precision, one of the references of Château Montrose.
