The big news in Bordeaux is the potential sale (it had not been finalized at the time of publication) of Chateau Montrose. The 2005 Montrose does not quite measure up to the 2003, but it is a beautiful effort. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc as well as a dollop of Petit Verdot, it possesses an inky blue purple color in addition to a sweet, provocative nose of creme de cassis, crushed rocks, graphite, and subtle wood. Medium to full-bodied, elegant yet powerful, fresh, and nuanced, the acids are higher and the pH lower in 2005 than in 2002. The 2005 should be a long-lived read more...

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.
