La Dame de Montrose is the Merlot‑leaning second wine of Château Montrose, crafted from the same gravel-and-clay Saint-Estèphe vineyards and made to similar exacting standards as the grand vin. Created in 1983 as a tribute to former owner Yvonne Charmolüe, it typically blends Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon plus small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, yielding a supple, earlier‑drinking Bordeaux that still reflects Montrose’s graphite‑tinged structure and deep red and black‑fruit character.
