2020 Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru Classe, Saint-Estephe 6x75cl

Chateau Montrose

Case Format: 75cl

Max score: 97.5

Drink To: 2032-2065

Known for its powerful, full-bodied claret, Château Montrose has continued to create acclaimed wines for the past couple of centuries. Only 800 metres from the Gironde estuary, Montrose benefits from an excellent microclimate that protects the vineyards against the frost. Their terroir comprises deep clay-gravel soils which enables the vines – which comprise Cabernet Sauvignon (c.60%), Merlot (c.32%), Cabernet Franc (c.6%) and Petit Verdot (c.2%) – to thrive. The resulting wine is one that is powerful and refined, yet elegant and complex. Firm and tannic, Montrose has superb ageing potential that with bottle maturation will continue to develop into a sublime and poetic claret.

Neal Martin

The 2020 Montrose has a gorgeous bouquet with black cherries, raspberry coulis, crushed stone and floral scents. It's quite decadent yet nicely controlled. The palate is very structured with layers of blackberry and bilberry fruit and a touch of white pepper, building toward a spicy and very persistent, almost burly finish. This will need serious cellaring. Outstanding. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.Blackish purple. Complex floral nose. Freshness on palate entry and much fleeter of foot than most 2020s with the tannins kept in the background. A very serious wine with real refreshment and not over-extracted. You could almost drink it now, which is a real surprise! (JR)
