About the Product

Classification: 2eme Grand Cru Classé
Producer Notes: The result of rigorous selection at each stage of production, in both the vineyard and the winery, this great, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon wine is typical of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. Structured and tannic but with all the elegance and refinement of a Grand Cru Classé, with time it develops a delicate and complex bouquet. The wines have considerable ageing potential and are exceptionally long-lived. Certain vintages (1921, 1929, 1982, 1990, 2009) are considered legendary.
Drinking Window: 2016-2026

Analytical Data

Alcohol ABV: 0.0%
Sweetness: Dry

Production Attributes

Maturation: Oaked
Oak Type: French
Ownership: Martin and Olivier Bouygues
Harvest date: 26 September - 12 October
Closure Type: Cork
Vineyard Notes: Blessed with undisputed natural assets combined with advantages nurtured over the centuries, Château Montrose has one of the region’s most privileged winegrowing terroirs. The 95-hectare (234-acres) vineyard surrounds the château, the winery and the outbuildings in a single continuous sweep, an exceptional and historically very rare feature. As well as making the vineyard easier to work, this unity means that it can be treated as a single entity, providing ideal conditions for efficient organisation and for monitoring the condition of each parcel. The Montrose terroir corresponds to what geologists call “elite cores”. Over millions of years, a complex process of geological layering resulted in the creation of outcrops, ideal for making fine wines and ensuring natural drainage towards the estuary. The soil on these terraces consists of gravel mixed with sand on the surface over a clay-rich subsoil in which natural reserves form at depth, providing the vines with the water they need.

Vintage Notes: This year began with an unstable spring yet with seasonal average temperature, at the exception of April and May. However, in June, at the flowering period, (the mid-flowering took place in June 16th), a cold and rainy weather caused an important coulure and millerandage on the merlots and cabernets francs. The crop was weak for these two grape varieties. July was fine, as generally in the south-west, but August and September were unstable, with alternation of sun and rainfall. By September 12th, the sun came back allowing grapes to mature in good conditions. During the first three days of harvest, the weather was fine, but we then had to cope successively with unsteady weather: nice sun and few clouds without significant rainfall. During this time, the temperature was low: 13-14°C a.m, and 20-21°C p.m

Ageing: Matured for 18 months in 60% new French oak barrels.

Vintage quality: Poor

Current condition: Likely past it

The 1984 vintage for Bordeaux was not brilliant marred by flighty weather patterns throughout the growing season.

Bad weather reigned supreme this year. First off, an unseasonably warm April caused vegetation to fast forward and then a chilly May brought heavy rain disru...
