Château Montrose - Saint-Estèphe - Le Saint-Estèphe de Montrose - Rouge - 2014

Wine:

The 2014 Red Saint-Estèphe de Montrose is a model Medoc that's already very accessible today. Its delicate oak, toast and cedar notes take their place in a balanced texture, where freshness and fruitiness combine to perfection. We appreciate the silkiness of the tannins, well blended by several years of ageing, this juice all in nuances which continues on the delicacy of the graphite flavours indissociable from great Cabernets. A model of Left Bank accomplishment!

An icon of Saint-Estèphe, Château Montrose is establishing its supremacy with an unparalleled influence. The impetus provided by Martin Bouygues immediately set the pace for the Cru, equipping it with an impressive winery and an elite team led by Hervé Berland, ex-director of Mouton-Rothschild.

The terroir has reacted swiftly to these Formula 1 adjustments, producing models of great Bordeaux capable of braving the test of time. The second wine takes full advantage of this, especially on a fine vintage like 2014, which is offered without excess and which, with its patina of age, is irresistible to drink today.
