In 1778, Mont Rose was a gravelly hillside, actually a heather-covered moor whose flowers in shades of purplish pink served as a landmark for navigators heading upriver to Bordeaux.
It was at this date that the land was purchased by Théodore Dumoulin, who undertook the clearing and then the planting of vines completed in 1815 with his son, and that they gave this vineyard the name Montrose in homage to this mountain covered with pink-flowered heather.
It is a Second Grand Cru Classé following the prestigious 1855 list.
The vineyard, which covers around 70 hectares, is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon for 65%, Merlot noir 25%, Cabernet franc 10% on a soil composed of coarse gravel for around 4 to 6 meters and below an impermeable clay-marl layer into which the roots descend to get water, a qualitative asset in summer for optimal ripening.
Yield is around 371 tons, equivalent to 440 to 450,000 bottles per year.
All harvesting is done by hand, and the wine is aged in barrels for half of the crop, and the rest in barrels that have already aged the previous year's wine.
From a vintage sculpted by the Atlantic, La Dame de Montrose 2024 gracefully expresses the delicacy and intensity of the Saint-Estèphe terroir.
This Second emblematic wine seduces at first sight with its brilliant purple color. The nose is both pure and charming, blending notes of black cherry, fresh blackcurrant and peony, enhanced by a subtle touch of graphite and a hint of spice.
On the palate, the attack is supple and progressive, revealing a silky body carried by chiseled tannins. The balance is remarkable: the roundness of the Merlot is matched by the straightforwardness of the Cabernet Sauvignon, which structures and lengthens the finish. The grain is fine, the length sapid, and the aromatic expression clear and precise.
La Dame de Montrose 2024 is a harmonious, sincere and immediately seductive cuvée, capable of being enjoyed young, but with a fine aptitude for evolution.
Harvest dates: September 23 to October 7, 2024.
