Château Montrose, 2ème Grand Cru Classé
Montrose behoort zonder twijfel tot de grote Bordeaux-wijnen. Het bewaarpotentieel is hoog. Typerend voor Montrose is de donkerrode bijna zwarte kleur en de enorme kracht reeds in zijn jonge jaren. De smaak is doortimmerd met tonen van gebrand eiken, zwart fruit, eucalyptus en een fraaie kruidigheid. Een 2e Grand Cru Classé die voor de Premiers absoluut niet onder doet. Het Château is in conversie naar biologische wijnbouw.

Wijnhuis "Château Montrose"
Château Montrose behoort tot de top van Bordeaux. Hier worden gespierde wijnen met een prachtige concentratie gemaakt. Pionier Théodore Dumoulin herontdekt deze plek aan het begin van de 18e eeuw. In 1815 legt hij de wijngaarden en de bijbehorende gebouwen aan. In 1855, ten tijde van het klassement van Bordeaux, zijn de wijngaarden dus pas 40 jaar oud! Bij zijn overlijden in 1861 laat Dumoulin een domein met maar liefst 91 hectare achter, wat ook de huidige grootte van het domein is.

Robert Parker
A timeless classic in the making, the 2025 Montrose unfurls in the glass with notes of dark berries, black truffle, burning embers and violets, gaining in range and detail with aeration. Full-bodied, dense and elegantly muscular, it's layered and multidimensional, with a prodigiously concentrated core of fruit, exceptional quality of tannin and a long, resonant finish. The 2025 is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, derived exclusively from the estate's historic core on the fourth terrace situated just in front of the château itself. With a pH of 3.65 and 13.4% alcohol, it remains classically balanced despite its impressive power and intensity. Readers will have a fascinating time parsing the nuances of style and quality between the 2025, 2023 and 2022 over the decades to come!

Vinous
The 2025 Montrose only comes from the Terrace IV, as has been the way since the 2023 vintage. It was picked from August 29 and finished not until September 20, so quite a long harvest, 16 days of picking between those dates. This vintage is matured in 60% new oak. This has another very intense nose with a potent graphite element that infuses the black fruit, beautifully defined but unapologetically classical in style. Wow. The purity of fruit is exceptional. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, very chiselled tannins, exquisite black fruit loaded with minéralité. So much freshness and vibrancy, gentle but insistent grip, very precise and refined on the finish, this is a Montrose that will rank as one for the ages. Wow (again).

Integrated and creamy tannins that are long and polished deliver an impressive palate of medium body, juicy fruit and a refined finish. Character of black and red currants with hazelnuts. Refined. Extremely long and polished, with plenty of Montrose character. Balanced. All there for the vintage. A blend of 77% cabernet sauvignon, 19% merlot and 4% cabernet franc.

Decanter
Vibrant purple colour in the glass. Amazing fragrance, so pure and crystalline – blackcurrants and violet notes. Silky and glossy, packed full of cherry and strawberry fruit with quite massy tannins but keeping a really cool and compact form. Structured with layers of elements but also a little granular, tight and spiced. Liquorice, cool cola and wet stone edges. Maybe less overtly charming and filling than in previous years, but this has a distinctly cool mineral edge and slightly grippy tannins on the finish. I like the style, it’s quite serious and terroir transparent. Ageing should soften this and relax a little. 3.65pH. 80 IPT. 12% press wine. Ageing 18 months, 60% new oak.
