Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru Classe

Montrose 2009

Montrose

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 100.0

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.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2009 Montrose prances out with showy notes of blackcurrant preserves, blackberry pie, dark chocolate, anise, and violets with touches of menthol and fallen leaves. The medium to full-bodied is jam packed with impactful black fruit preserves, supported by firm, ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing with epic length and wonderfully fragrant.

Jane Anson

A generosity is apparent in this wine that is less evident in the 2010, although both are exceptional wines. Full of layers and complexity, yet effortlessly welcoming, with grilled vanilla and cocoa bean, ripe raspberry puree, black pepper spice and still confident, firm tannins. Harvest September 17 to October 5. Last tasted October 2020, same score.
