About Chateau Montrose
Ch teau Montrose is a leading estate of the Saint-Est phe commune of the M doc region in Bordeaux. It was ranked as a second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. The grand Vin, composed largely of Cabernet Sauvignon with some Merlot. The second wine is La Dame de Montrose; the third is Saint-Est phe de Ch teau Montrose. The 95-hectare (235-acre) vineyard exists, unusually for modern Bordeaux, as one single entity. It is sited on an exposed site of deep, coarse gravels with sand and a little clay, overlooking the Gironde. The immediate proximity of the water has a moderating effect on both frost and summer heat, and the pebbles in the soil retain daytime warmth into the evening, aiding ripening. The estate is situated around a mile from Cos d'Estournel and the border with Pauillac. The vineyard is planted to a range of the classic Bordeaux varieties: 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 32 percent Merlot, 6 percent Cabernet Franc and 2 percent Petit Verdot. Grapes are hand-picked, beginning with Merlot and ending with Cabernet Sauvignon. A first selection is made in the vineyard and a second before vinification, which takes place in stainless-steel vats over 20 days with several pump-overs per day. Components of the same grape variety and quality level are blended before malolactic fermentation. In January the wine is moved to oak barrels to age the grand Vin is matured in 60 percent new oak for 16 to 18 months.
