Intensity hits first with the 2022 Chateau Montrose: a deep core of blackcurrant and blackberry wrapped in sleek yet formidable tannins, edged by notes of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf and cool stone. This is a towering, concentrated St-Estèphe, powerful but finely sculpted, with a long, palate-coating finish that promises decades of graceful evolution. A reference-point Montrose in a bold, sunny vintage, built more for the cellar than for early pleasure.
Dry-aged ribeye with bone marrow; roast venison with blackcurrant jus; braised lamb shank with rosemary and olives.
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.
