Good fruit, good grip, silk-clad tannins. Slightly sweaty tannin on the nose but sweet and rich.

An elegant, supple, fully mature vintage for Montrose that will be appreciated by those who prefer the dried leaf, leather flavours in older wines. Just starting to fade, so I would drink this medium bodied, classic St-Estèphe red quickly. It is delicious to drink now.

Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate
In the early days of this wine, I think this was one of my favourite and most highly recommended wines when I did my review of the 1976s, which was generally very critical of the vintage. The wine is fully mature and should hold for another 5-10 years, but it showed very well in the vertical at Château Montrose. The year 1976 started off with great promise. Early spring had a very hot April, May and June with no vineyard diseases, but an extreme drought in July, August and September caused vineyard stress. During harvest, rain caused some dilution in numerous vineyards. The harvest occurred between 15 and 29 September. This is a fully mature, very complex wine, with notes of cedarwood, new saddle leather, mulberries, and blackcurrants. The wine has some loamy soil notes and unsmoked cigar tobacco in a medium to full-bodied, very complex and fully mature style.

Château Château Montrose
Château Montrose

Château Montrose is one of the most iconic estates in the Saint-Estèphe appellation, on the left bank of Bordeaux. Classified as a Deuxième Grand Cru Classé in 1855, it embodies the power, longevity and stylistic rigour characteristic of the great wines of the northern Médoc. Located at the southern tip of Saint-Estèphe, immediately bordering the Gironde, the estate benefits from a terroir of rare homogeneity, often compared to that of the greatest neighbouring classified growths of Pauillac.

The vineyard of Château Montrose extends over approximately 95 hectares in a single block, planted predominantly with Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a touch of Petit Verdot. This composition gives the wines a deep structure, a pronounced aromatic intensity and a remarkable ageing potential. The style of Montrose is distinguished by its balance of controlled power, freshness and tannin precision.

Aged for approximately eighteen months in French oak barrels, this grand vin requires many years of cellaring. The estate counts among its legends 1921, 1929, the 1982 vintage and 1990, while the 2009 wine and the 2010 vintage proudly represent its more recent period. La Dame de Montrose, the second selection born in 1983, offers a more tender interpretation of the same terroir. The estate also produces a recognised second wine, La Dame de Montrose, crafted to the same exacting standards and offering a more accessible expression of the terroir.
