Château Montrose is the undisputed king of Saint-Estèphe — a Second Growth estate of immense reputation, producing some of the most structured, powerful, and long-lived wines in all of Bordeaux. The 2023 vintage has surpassed even the loftiest expectations, earning 99+ points from the Wine Advocate in recognition of a wine of truly historic concentration, depth, and classical Left Bank grandeur. Built on Montrose's signature Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, this is a wine of iron and velvet — forbidding in its youth, but destined to evolve over decades into something truly magnificent.
99+ Points
"Just as it was from barrel, the 2023 Montrose is one of the most compelling wines of the vintage. Unwinding in the glass with a brooding bouquet of cassis, violets and burning embers, it's full-bodied, with prodigious mid-palate density and dimension, its concentrated core of fruit underpinned by abundant but ultra-refined tannins and lively acids. Broad, penetrating and persistent, it's a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc. This is a very serious wine, carrying plenty of structure; but while it will certainly require some patience, today's more precise extraction and élevage choices mean that it will not mandate the 20-30 years of deferred gratification that were once the norm at this address, even if I'm convinced the 2023 will be just as long-lived as the classics of the past."
