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.
"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."
