Château Montrose - 2e G.C.C. | St.-Estèphe
Red wine | France, SAINT-ESTEPHE | 2017
La robe est profonde et brillante. Le nez complexe, présente une belle intensité aromatique de framboise, mûre, cassis et cerise noire assortie de notes florales et minérales. La structure, puissante et équilibrée, révèle la pureté du fruit. La bouche, ample et élégante, est marquée par la persistance d’un fruit juteux et dévoile des tannins souples et fondus. Un millésime qui porte bien la signature de son terroir et présente un très beau potentiel de garde.

Vinification
The harvest takes place under ideal conditions. A team of around one hundred pickers carries out an intra-plot selection in a highly efficient and well-organized manner. This meticulous work is mirrored in the winery, which has recently been equipped with over 90 small-capacity vats. Extractions are gentle, and macerations slightly shorter than last year.
For our blends, we have a rich aromatic palette of 82 distinct free-run wine lots, each fully expressing the unique characteristics of its terroir, along with 9 press wine lots that allow us to fine-tune the tannic structure of our wines with exceptional precision.

About Ch. Montrose
Château Montrose was founded in 1815. The 65 ha vineyards of Montrose are located right on the banks of the wide river Gironde. Already in 1855 the wines of Montrose were counted among the best in Bordeaux and classified as deuxième Grand Cru Classé. In 1896, Montrose came into the hands of the Charmolü family. In 2006 the Bouygues brothers took over the castle. This domain also produces a second wine, La Dame de Montrose.
