The Château Montrose 1981, a fine wine from Saint-Estèphe, comes from gravelly soils. This vintage, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offers notes of tobacco, dark fruits and leather. Its palate, silky and mineral, captivates with its balance. Ideal with red meats or aged cheeses.
Nestled at the heart of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, this emblematic estate has embodied Bordeaux excellence for nearly two centuries, combining family tradition and viticultural rigour.
- Terroir : Deep gravel and calcareous clays on the banks of the Gironde, lending the wines a mineral structure and an elegant power, typical of Saint-Estèphe.
- Vinification : A meticulous ageing in oak barrels, respecting the balance between fruit and tannins, for cuvées that are both fleshy and precise.
Tasting notes for Château Montrose 1981
To the eye – A garnet red robe with tile-red hues, dense and slightly veiled by time, revealing a silky texture and generous substance.
On the nose – A complex bouquet where notes of blonde tobacco, candied blackberry, patinated leather and a hint of cedar mingle, lifted by a subtle iodine salinity.
On the palate – A velvety attack, carried by a lively acidity and a tannic framework still present, offering flavours of liquorice, cocoa and a long, mineral and persistent finish.
Serve between 16 and 18°C, in a Bordeaux glass to fully release its aromas.
Vintage 1981
A classic Bordeaux vintage, marked by balanced ripeness and a structure conducive to long ageing.
- Ageing potential : This wine can still improve over the next 10 to 15 years, provided it is kept under optimal conditions (stable temperature, controlled humidity and away from light).
