| Over het wijnhuis | De meeste châteaux hebben hun naam te danken aan hun oprichter of een belangrijke eigenaar, maar dat is niet het geval bij Château Montrose. De naam ‘Montrose’ betekent letterlijk ‘roze heuvel’ en verwijst naar de roze-kleurige heide, die in bloei stond op de plek waar het château nu staat. Château Montrose, gevestigd in Saint-Estèphe is een 2e Grand Cru Classé en staat bekend als maker van intense Cabernet Sauvignon-gedreven wijnen. Leuk detail: Château Montrose eindigde als derde in de befaamde “Judgment of Paris” in 1976. |

| Awards | "From barrel, I wrote that 2022 Montrose was so compelling that assigning it a bracketed score seemed a mere formality, and so it has proven. Unwinding in the glass with a deep and brooding bouquet of cassis, wild blueberries, violets, pencil shavings and burning embers, it's full-bodied, deep and dense, somehow marrying all the tannic authority that has long been such a signature of Montrose with a suavity and purity that represents the quintessence of contemporary Bordeaux. The broad, palate-staining finish lasts for more than a minute. This is a profound young wine that readers aren't going to want to miss." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate "Great depth in the nose, taking you into its core of blackcurrants, pencil shavings, graphite, tar, inkpot and cassis. Full-bodied and very tight, this flexes its polished muscles, showing form and tension. Compacted. From organically grown grapes. 66% cabernet sauvignon, 25% merlot, 8% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot. This needs six to seven years to come around." - James Suckling "66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Blackish purple. Sumptuous nose. Extremely polished tannins! This caresses the palate until the not inconsiderable tannins kick in. Lip-smacking fruit with the commune’s stoniness kicking in afterwards and masses of ripe tannin. Not yet ready but very impressive indeed. (JR)" - Jancis Robinson "The 2022 Montrose is insanely beautiful. That much is obvious. When it might be ready to drink is another question. In recent years, Montrose has acquired notable finesse in its tannins, so that is not an issue. But the 2022 is packed with tremendous density and concentration that will need time to soften. Blackberry, graphite, licorice, lavender and chocolate stain the palate in a stunning, riveting wine of the very highest level. I can only hope to be around when the 2022 starts to drink well! Montrose is without question one of the wines of the vintage. Unforgettable." - Vinous "This is laden with gently steeped black currant, black cherry and blackberry fruit inlaid with flashes of licorice snap, singed alder, chestnut and gunpowder tea. A flash of lilac skirts the edges, adding subtle energy and lift. The long finish offers an alluring feel, with an echo of warm earth lingering amid the fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2026 through 2045." - Wine Spectator "A deep heady nose filled with fragrant black fruit, liquorice, tobacco and violets. Sumptuous and seductive, this walks the fine line between presenting the vintage with a heady, charged palate full of sun-kissed fruit and lashings of liquorice spice with pristine cherries and blackcurrants and a vein of salty, crushed stone and iron minerality. Gorgeous acidity keeps the profile lifted and almost airy before the density of the aromatics and flavours comes into play. So well constructed, this has muscles and serious power but within a sleek frame and a delicate chalky touch on the finish." - Decanter |
