One of Bordeaux’s most consistent producers of structured, long-lived wines. The 2015 vintage captures Montrose’s trademark austerity softened slightly by ripe fruit and seamless tannins. A blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s brooding and dark-fruited but impeccably polished.
This wine demands time—but delivers classic Saint-Estèphe character: blackcurrant, cigar box, damp earth, and crushed stones. Decant it now or cellar it for decades.
Tasting Notes:
Blackberry, cigar tobacco, dark chocolate, graphite, dried thyme.
Food Pairing:
Beef ribs, mushroom ragu, truffle roast potatoes, or hard cheeses.
Accolades:
97 pts Wine Advocate; 96 pts Vinous; benchmark Saint-Estèphe.
Vineyard & Terroir:
Gravel and clay soils close to the Gironde. Organic and biodynamic practices in parts of the estate.
Why We Like It:
It’s textbook Montrose: structured, intense, and serious. Bordeaux for collectors who crave depth.
