Château Montrose is a Second Growth (2ème Grand Cru Classé) from Saint-Estèphe in Bordeaux. The 2016 is a red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with Cabernet Sauvignon predominant. It comes from rigorous selection in both the vineyard and the winery, and it is typical of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The wine is matured for 18 months in 60% new French oak barrels, and it accounts for 35 to 40% of the château's total production.
The color is very dark, deep and intense. The nose is complex, lively and precise, with well-ripened fruit, toasty oak and a spicy touch. The attack is generous and opulent, and the full, fleshy palate carries silky, precise tannins. The wine is structured and tannic, yet elegant and refined, and with time it develops a delicate, complex bouquet.
