La Dame de Montrose 2014

Montrose

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 93.0

La Dame de Montrose is the breath-taking second wine from the illustrious Saint-Estèphe estate, Château Montrose. Montrose has continued to create acclaimed wines for the past couple of centuries and were one of the first ever Bordeaux estates to make a second wine. Only 800 metres from the Gironde estuary, Montrose benefits from an excellent microclimate that protects the vineyards against the frost. Their terroir comprises deep clay-gravel soils which enables the vines to thrive. The blend of La Dame de Montrose predominately features Merlot, which adds a silky and expressive texture to the wine. Production varies each year, but is usually formed from around 40% of the Montrose vineyard. This is a gorgeous wine which has the ability to be drunk sooner than its older sibling.

The 2014 La Dame de Montrose lagged a long way behind the superlative Grand Vin at primeur, but has since made up some ground. Now in bottle, it has a nicely poised bouquet with red cherries, bilberry and crushed violets. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity, tightly wound and linear, a conservative La Dame de Montrose that I suspect will age better than I originally thought.

Transparent mid garnet with a pale rim. Lifted and characterful on the nose. Sweet start and a stony St-Estèphe finish. Correct with the tannin still much in evidence. Does this contain press wine?
