Montrose 2008 OWC
The Château Montrose 2008, Deuxième Cru Classé, embodies the excellence of Saint-Estèphe. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it combines dark fruits, spices and cedar. On the palate, velvety tannins and minerality create a lasting harmony. Ideal with duck breast or a hard cheese.
Château Montrose Nestled in the heart of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, this iconic estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence since the early 19th century. Classified as a Deuxième Cru in 1855, it combines family tradition and viticultural rigor to craft wines of rare intensity. - Terroir: Gravelly and clay soils, bathed by the Gironde estuary, lend the grapes a distinctive minerality and a remarkable tannic structure. - Vinification: Meticulous aging in oak barrels, combined with precise blending, reveals cuvées that are both powerful and tensely elegant. Tasting Notes for Château Montrose 2008 To the eye: A deep, almost opaque purple robe with violet hues, heralding a dense and silky texture. On the nose: Aromas of ripe blackcurrant and black raspberry intertwine with notes of cedar, blonde tobacco and graphite, lifted by a saline and mineral touch. On the palate: A frank and precise attack, carried by velvety yet firm tannins, a lively acidity and a chalky minerality that stretches into a long and persistent finish. Serve between 16 and 18°C, in a Bordeaux glass to release its full complexity. Vintage 2008 A vintage marked by optimal grape maturity, offering a perfect balance between concentration and freshness. - Aging potential: To be cellared until 2038, or even beyond, under ideal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity, and away from light).
