In the heart of Saint-Estèphe, this 2018 Montrose reveals the depth and power typical of Bordeaux’s Left Bank. Dark fruit flavors like cassis, blackberry, and plum are complemented by nuances of tobacco, cedar, and leather, offering a wine that’s both complex and powerful.

It’s full-bodied, with firm tannins that provide structure and elegance, while the acidity brings a vibrancy to the fruit. Earthy spice and subtle herbal notes deepen the profile, leading into a long, lingering finish. The balance between strength and finesse ensures this wine will continue to evolve beautifully with time.

Pair this Saint-Estèphe with roasted meats, grilled lamb, or a selection of strong cheeses. Though it’s impressive now, it has the potential to age gracefully, becoming even more nuanced and complex as the years go on.

Left Chateau Montrose
Chateau Montrose is a Bordeaux benchmark known for producing powerful, savory Cabernet-de-garde in the classical Saint-Estephe mold. It’s also the kind of estate that claret lovers refer to as a “super second”: a second-growth-ranked wine which can match (or even best) first-growth estates like Lafite or Margaux in special vintages.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 97
"The 2018 Montrose is dazzling. Whereas so many 2018s are opulent and broad, Montrose is a wine of vertical explosive power. Ripe Cabernet aromatics soar out of the glass, making a strong first impression. Black cherry, leather, licorice, graphite and menthol develop later as the 2018 starts to open in the glass. The energy, vibrancy and drive here are palpable right out of the gate. Montrose is one of real stars of 2018. Don't miss it!" -Antonio Galloni

Robert Parker

RP 95+
"A hulking monster of power and extraction, the 2018 Montrose offers up rich aromas of mulberries, cherries, dark chocolate and violets. Full-bodied, broad and ample, with a textural attack that segues into a sweet core of fruit framed by ripe but chewy tannins, it's a muscular, dense Montrose with structure to burn, concluding with a lingering, floral finish. While its over 14.5% alcohol is impressively well integrated, Médoc purists will want to gravitate toward the 2016 rather than the 2018." -William Kelley

Jancis Robinson

JR 18
"Tasted blind. Very popular with the tasters today. Dark crimson. Rich and treacly on the nose. Very sweet and exotic. All that sweet fruit and all that tannin underneath. Pretty superlative. Sui generis. 14.5%" -Jancis Robinson

Decanter

D 98
"Rich and deep with beautifully nuanced dark chocolate, mocha, cocoa bean and liquorice. Just full of understated power and silky tannins. This is gorgeous and among my top wines of the Left Bank. As it opens in the glass you get sweet black cherry and cassis flesh, and a sense of lilting sappiness. Great stuff from Montrose." -Jane Anson

Wine Spectator

WS 95
"Dark and winey, with a well-built core laden with cassis and dark plum puree while flashes of anise, lilac and charcoal fill in throughout. Finish has hints of chestnut and warm earth for a burly edge, but there's ample fruit for balance. Plenty grippy in the end too; cellaring required. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2023 through 2036."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 97
"This wine confirms the place of Montrose among the top Bordeaux estates. With its rich tannins and powerful structure, it exudes concentration and density. But the wine also shows a sense of style. Fruit purity will make it impressive and allow it to age for many years. *Cellar Selection*" -Roger Voss
