To fully enjoy a bottle of Château Montrose, it is recommended to decant it at least two hours before serving, to allow the wine to open up and release its aromas. The ideal serving temperature is between 16 and 18 °C. At the table, Château Montrose pairs beautifully with red meats in sauce, game, rib of beef, or hard cheeses, which respond perfectly to the tannic structure and aromatic depth of this great Saint-Estèphe.
