Chateau Montrose 2016 is a powerful yet finely etched Saint-Estèphe, saturating the palate with pure blackcurrant, blackberry and plum layered with graphite, cedar, and a touch of smoke and dried flowers. The structure is imposing but beautifully proportioned, with ultra-fine tannins and a long, precise finish that promises decades of evolution.

Château Montrose is the powerful, Cabernet Sauvignon–led grand vin of this famed Second Growth estate in Saint-Estèphe, drawn from a single, gravel-and-clay hillside vineyard overlooking the Gironde. Known for its dense structure, deep black-fruit character, and strongly tannic, ageworthy style, it is considered a benchmark “Super Second” that in great vintages rivals the First Growths. The wine’s precision and intensity are closely tied to its elite Médoc terraces and rigorously managed, parcel-by-parcel viticulture.
