The estate was ranked as a second growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, and is regarded as one of the very best properties at that level. The epitome of the Saint-Estèphe appellation, Montrose's top wine is known for its structure (even austerity) in youth, but beguiling many as it ages. The grand vin, composed largely of Cabernet Sauvignon with some Merlot, is typically deeply colored, powerful and firm when young, but has superb aging potential. The second wine is La Dame de Montrose; the third is Saint-Estèphe de Château Montrose. The 95-hectare (235-acre) vineyard exists, unusually for modern Bordeaux, as one single entity. It is sited on an exposed site of deep, coarse gravels with sand and a little clay, overlooking the Gironde. The immediate proximity of the water has a moderating effect on both frost and summer heat, and the pebbles in the soil retain daytime warmth into the evening, aiding ripening. The château is situated around three kilometers (1.8 miles) northeast of Château Cos d'Estournel (another so-called \"super-second\" – i.e. a highly regarded second growth estate) on the border with the Pauillac appellation.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-02-08T15:46:02-05:00","created_at":"2023-02-03T09:50:56-05:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","other_french wine","Other_Wine","Producer_Chateau Montrose","Region_Bordeaux","RK0202","Source_Hedonism0123","Type_Red Wine","varietal_cabernet sauvignon","Varietal_Merlot"],"price":379899,"price_min":379899,"price_max":379899,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42760934490250,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2015 | Chateau Montrose | La Dame de Montrose 18L","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":379899,"weight":293928,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/56_f8da1e36-b99d-403f-8e46-8a37d7fba7b4.png?v=1675435906"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/56_f8da1e36-b99d-403f-8e46-8a37d7fba7b4.png?v=1675435906","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2015 | Chateau Montrose | La Dame de Montrose 18L at CaskCartel.com","id":24144026960010,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.351,"height":342,"width":120,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/56_f8da1e36-b99d-403f-8e46-8a37d7fba7b4.png?v=1675435906"},"aspect_ratio":0.351,"height":342,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/56_f8da1e36-b99d-403f-8e46-8a37d7fba7b4.png?v=1675435906","width":120}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2015 | Chateau Montrose | La Dame de Montrose 18L\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDense floral and cassis nose with a minerally graphite base.
