Saint-Estephe AOC 2eme Grand Cru Classe

/ 5 ( reviews)

Montrose is arguably the finest estate of Saint-Estèphe and "very clearly one of the wines of the vintage" (Vinous). It has high scores galore, including a perfect 100. “Very dense and concentrated with lovely proportions” (top sommelier, A Larsson).

There is an enormous praise for the Bordeaux 2019 vintage – critic Neal Martin wrote, it “is a wonderful vintage to finish the decade. It is a style of wine that I personally adore”. And with 100 points from Antoni Galloni and 97 from James Suckling, plus a good few others besides, this is a very fine, second-growth Saint-Estèphe. Château Montrose may be the youngest Cru Classé of Saint-Estèphe, created from land bordering Calon-Ségur at the start of the 19th century, but it's one of its top stars. With beautifully situated vineyards and well-equipped, impeccably clean cellars, its château buildings are modest, with views over the Gironde, but its wines are not. “Polished and very fine with lovely length” (James Suckling on the 2019).

"Rich, inky and towering in concentration. Off the charts intensity and tons of structure to back it" Antoni Galloni
