Château Montrose St Estèphe Grand Cru Classé

Château Montrose 2016 is a benchmark modern Saint‑Estèphe: powerful, precise and impeccably classical, with the depth and refinement you’d expect from a top Grand Cru Classé in a great Left Bank year.

A blend dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, it shows very dark, saturated colour and an intense nose of pure cassis and blackberry, graphite, violet, dark chocolate and crushed rock. The palate is full‑bodied yet remarkably poised, marrying dense black fruit with cool minerality, fine, ripe tannins and vivid acidity, leading to a long, resonant finish that underlines both its current class in the glass and its huge potential for decades of cellaring.
