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 92
"The 2019 La Dame de Montrose has an open, fresh and energetic nose with blackberry and cedar scents, joined by black pepper and graphite with time. You might describe it as a "strapping" bouquet. The palate is medium-bodied with graphite-infused black fruit, pliant tannins, edgy with a persistent and satisfying finish. This is very promising and quite sophisticated - a Deuxième Vin that has improved since bottling. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 90
"The 2019 La Dame de Montrose is a touch richer and more giving than its 2016 counterpart, delivering aromas of dark berries, cherries and plum liqueur along with licorice and petals. Medium to full-bodied, supple and fleshy, it's velvety and expressive out of the gates, reflecting the dominant presence of ripe Merlot in the blend." -William Kelley

"Tasted blind. Youthful crimson. Ripe fruit. Good impact. Assertive. Quite a bit of tannin underneath and some persistence. Even a bit of alcoholic warmth on the end!"

Decanter

D 94
"The Merlots were so good this year that most have gone into the first wine, giving this a higher percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon than usual and making it a serious Dame de Montrose, with clear ageing potential. Elegant and balanced, with purity and juicy black fruits. It has that savoury Cabernet quality which is very Médocain, this is absolutely one to look out for, packed with estate signature. 30% new oak. 43% of total production. 4% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Lovely new label here also, with rose gold roses across it."

Wine Spectator

WS 92
"Very solid, with a core of lightly steeped plum and blackberry fruit, supported by a streak of iron and framed by smoldering tobacco and dark earth notes. Good energy throughout as well, with a mouthwatering echo at the end." -James Molesworth

Wine Enthusiast

WE 94
"The second wine of Montrose is seriously structured with dark tannins. It has impressive weight and concentration, a big wine while polished appropriate for this estate."
