Château Montrose 2012 hails from the esteemed Saint-Estèphe appellation, known for its gravelly soils that contribute to structured Cabernet Sauvignon-based red wines. This vintage is a blend comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Aromas of dark fruit, tobacco and subtle oak emerge on the nose. On the palate, expect firm tannins and a layered profile, featuring notes of blackcurrant, cedar and a hint of mineral. Château Montrose has been in operation since the late 18th century and its wines are recognised for their capacity to age gracefully, in good vintages over decades.
