What to Expect
Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classed growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate. The most famous communes each have their own classic traits with St. Estephe giving full, if rustic wines, from the heavy clay soils, to Paulliac's elegant balance of ripe fruits, minerality and structure to St. Julien's rich blackberry core and supple feel. Moving to the South of the region brings one to Margaux, with its notes of flowers and berries draped over a feminine frame, and then to the Graves region with wines redolent of tobacco, gravel and smoke. To the East lies the famous appellations of St. Emillion, with its wonderfully ripe Cabernet Franc, and Pomerol where Merlot rules the roost and produces deep, plush wines of uncommon refinement.

The grand vin comprises a selection of 77% of the output, and was made up of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3.5 % Cabernet Franc and 0.5% Petit Verdot. Press wine accounted for 9% of the blend, and the wine is being aged in 65% new barrels. To the eye, the '05 is opaque blackberry purple and offers a beautifully pure, very rich yet controlled aroma showing ideal fruit maturity. In the mouth, it is full and polished with perfectly managed tannins, and has a subtle black pepper note in the aftertaste. Brilliant wine!
October 2009
Ch. Montrose was ranked in the Deuxièmes Crus: during the time of the Classification of 1855. The estate began in the early 1800's and today offers great consistency in many vintages. The 65 hectare estate is planted mostly to Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller amounts of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.
