The remarkable 2021 Montrose gets my nomination for the title of "wine of the vintage" in the Médoc. Wafting from the glass with a deep bouquet of cassis and dark berries mingled with subtle hints of mint, orange, pencil shavings and spices, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a layered and multidimensional core of fruit underpinned by beautifully ripe , refined tannins. Concluding with a long, resonant finish, it entirely transcends the limitations of the year. This young classic, reminiscent of the estate's 1996 but far better, is a blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot.

100 /100

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Montrose is a serious, muscular effort that numbers among the wines of the vintage. Unwinding in the glass with notes of cassis, burning embers, cigar wrapper and iris, it's medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, with a lively spine of acidity, rich structuring tannins and a long, penetrating finish. With both the highest proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon recorded at Montrose and a rather low pH of 3.55, it will surely number among the longest lived 2024 Bordeaux. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate

95 /100

Beautifully deep colour, this shows chalk, violet flowers, peony, fragrant and enticing floral profile compared to so many in the vintage, this is excellent, cocoa bean, cassis, depth, layers and concentration – one of the wines of the vintage. 15% press wine, a little more than usual. Harvest 23 September to 8 October, Pierre Grafeuille estate director.

Jane Anson

95 /100

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Delicately smoky and herbaceous undertones of wild black berries, fine cassis, blackberry jam, and nuances of oak, an attractive bouquet. Complex, tight-knit, dark cherries, ripe, first-class tannins, good freshness, a mineral finish, elegant, persistent, with length and potential, a classic aromatic profile.

Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot

Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot udgør et af verdens mest ikoniske og udbredte rødvinsblends – fundamentet for de klassiske Bordeaux‑vine og forbilledet for utallige tolkninger verden over. Kombinationen af Cabernet Sauvignons tanninrige struktur, syre og mørke frugt samt Merlots bløde, runde frugt og fyldige mundfølelse skaber vine med både dybde, balance og stort lagringspotentiale.

Smagsprofilen spænder typisk fra solbær, brombær og mørk kirsebær til mere subtile noter af blomme, ceder, tobak, vanilje og krydderi, især når blendet lagres på eg. Cabernet Sauvignon bidrager med struktur og kompleksitet, mens Merlot afrunder udtrykket med saftig frugt og en silkeblød fylde.

Blendet dyrkes i dag på tværs af den vinproducerende verden – fra Bordeaux til Australien, Chile, Californien og Sydafrika – hvor terroir og proportionerne mellem druerne giver unikke udtryk fra elegante og stramme til generøse og fyldige vine.
