Château Montrose 2ème Cru Classé 2009 is a grand and impressive red wine from Saint-Estèphe in Bordeaux, France, combining power, depth, and classic Médoc character in a refined and exclusive expression. The 2009 vintage is known for its ripe, generous style, and Château Montrose demonstrates why the estate is considered among the most distinctive and age-worthy names on the Left Bank. The wine appears intense, structured, and elegant with a beautiful balance between concentrated fruit, freshness, and firm tannin structure.

On the nose, the wine opens with deep notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, and ripe plum, beautifully complemented by cedar, tobacco, graphite, spices, and a discreet hint of leather and dark chocolate. The aromatic profile is complex, classic, and very inviting with a clear Saint-Estèphe signature, where dark fruit and mineral firmness go hand in hand. The palate is full-bodied, concentrated, and well-structured with ripe tannins, beautiful fresh acidity, and a long, persistent finish, where fruit, spice, and minerality are all distinctly present. The result is a wine with both strength, precision, and great elegance.

Château Montrose 2009 pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, braised dishes, and aged cheeses. It is a wine for those seeking a great Bordeaux with depth, complexity, and classic French finesse. An ideal bottle for special dinners or for the wine lover who desires a characterful and age-worthy Saint-Estèphe with great personality.

100 /100

A brilliant wine that stands out as one of the high points of the vintage, the 2009 Montrose unwinds in the glass with a rich and incipiently complex bouquet of dark berries, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, framed by a deftly judged touch of new oak. Full-bodied, broad and enveloping, it's a velvety, layered and impressively dynamic wine that's deep and concentrated, exhibiting terrific balance and a long, resonant finish. While it is still five or six years away from showing all its cards, I have drunk this benchmark for contemporary Montrose with immense pleasure three times this year. In style, it's hard to find an obvious comparison (and I have drunk Montrose back to 1895), but I would be inclined to invoke a fresher, more complete and more powerful version of the estate's very successful 2003.

99 /100

Cuts right to the heart of great St Estèphe, dark fleshy fruits, ambitious, just a touch of exuberance, but held back by bitter black chocolate, espresso, olive tapenade, eucalyptus, mint leaf, blackberry and damson fruits. Right up there showcasing what 2009 can offer Jean Bernard Delmas was director at the time, and he is bringing some First Growth magic. Can be opened now with a long carafe, but is built to last.

Jane Anson

96 /100

Enormous tannins, dominant black fruit and a solid, dense structure. The wine, packed with dark fruits, dry tannins, very firm in character. With its huge tannins as well as fruit, this is a wine that really needs many years of aging.

Wine Enthusiast

97 /100

Deep dark ruby garnet color with a deep core, purple reflections, delicate brightening on the rim. Fresh dark berries, ripe heart cherries, a hint of mandarin zest, a mineral touch, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, pleasant fruit sweetness, firm, ripe tannins, very good freshness, lingers long, mineral aftertaste, dark berries on the finish, certain aging potential, bitter chocolate finish, already very seductive, will continue to develop. Already accessible, but better to wait.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
