| Over het wijnhuis | De meeste châteaux hebben hun naam te danken aan hun oprichter of een belangrijke eigenaar, maar dat is niet het geval bij Château Montrose. De naam ‘Montrose’ betekent letterlijk ‘roze heuvel’ en verwijst naar de roze-kleurige heide, die in bloei stond op de plek waar het château nu staat. Château Montrose, gevestigd in Saint-Estèphe is een 2e Grand Cru Classé en staat bekend als maker van intense Cabernet Sauvignon-gedreven wijnen. Leuk detail: Château Montrose eindigde als derde in de befaamde “Judgment of Paris” in 1976. |

| Awards | "Another strong performance from this bottling, which dependably numbers among Bordeaux's top three or four second wines, the 2023 La Dame de Montrose reveals aromas of cassis, pencil shavings and licorice, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and dense palate that's polished, pure and layered, with sweet tannins, lively acids and a saline finish. It's a blend of 61% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "The blackberries and blackcurrants show through beautifully, together with very integrated tannins. Dense and textured. Transparent. Graphite coming through. Second wine of Montrose. 61% merlot, 32% cabernet sauvignon, 5% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc." - James Suckling "61% Merlot, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Touch of sweetness from the Merlot then acidity and tension. Perhaps a bit lean on the mid palate. Usually improves in the bottle so could warrant a higher score. (JL)" - Jancis Robinson "Crisp and crunchy cranberry aromas on the nose, fresh and vibrant - herbal, floral, fruity. Smooth and supple, so lively, bright and acidic, really lifted and almost verging on tart. I love it though, manages to be fresh yet with ripeness of tannins that slowly expand in the mouth while also giving structure and a well-defined outline. Streamlined and straight. Polished and characterful with lovely purity of fruit. Ageing 12 months, using 5% foudre 5% amphora, 10% new oak and the rest aged barrels. 2% Cabernet Franc completes the blend." - Decanter |
