2018 Château Montrose, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

The Cabernet Sauvignons were the real success here and there is a bit more in the grand vin as a result, as well as a bit more of the grand vin itself. The cooler terroir gives freshness anyway, but this has the classic Montrose notes of iodine and iron. Under Hervé Berland there is a real sense of control and poise to these wines. Drink 2028-2050.

Critics reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW 96-98/100
Composed of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, harvested from September 17 to October 5, the 2018 Montrose has a very deep purple-black color and opens with tantalizing notes of crme de cassis, Black Forest cake, hoisin and mocha with nuances of molten licorice, fertile loam, cast iron pan and incense. Big, rich, full and powerful in the mouth, the voluptuous fruit has a rock-solid backbone of very firm, very ripe tannins to match with tons of freshness and an epically long, exotic spice finish. A magnificent monster of a Montrose!

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
