Château Montrose

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.

Description La Dame de Montrose 2015.

Raised from the same vines and made with the same care as the Grand Vin, this Second vin du Château Montrose is renowned for its suppleness and elegance. Intense ruby-red in color, it presents itself in the glass with a powerful, expressive nose. Delicious fragrances of blackberry and blackcurrant mingle with more empyreumatic notes of smoke and roasting. On the palate, the ample attack evolves into a very round balance. The tannins are supple and the fruit aromas powerful. The pure finish lingers on the palate for long Sec rounds. This wine can be enjoyed now, but still shows good ageing potential.

The care we take when receiving wines in our cellars enables us to detect bottles with imperfections (dirty or faded labels, damaged capsules, etc.). In such cases, they are systematically set aside and never put online! Our preparation team selects only bottles with perfect presentation for your orders!

It is these bottles with slight external defects that we present to you in the "Existe en imparfaite" selection. These bottles are, of course, of "irreproachable" gustatory quality, but suffer from slight defects on the label or cap. We therefore offer them at a preferential price, making the pleasure of tasting them even more affordable.
