The 2018 La Dame de Montrose is a blend of 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 52% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 15% Petit Verdot. La Dame is the 2nd wine from Chateau Montrose and this one has a perfumed, floral and pure bouquet with black cherries, blueberries and violets. On the palate the wine is well balanced with a more voluptuous texture compared to its fellow Saint Estèphes thanks to the voluptuous Merlot at the heart of this wine. It has commendable energy and is already very approachable and does not need decades in the cellar to come into its own. This is a beautiful 1.5 liter magnum. Even more delicious and with a longer drinking window.
FACT: Under the tab: Attachment you will find the official factsheet and we will send it to you digitally when you order this wine. Also worth mentioning that we buy the (Bordeaux) wines directly and never through intermediaries because then we do not know which journeys the wine has made and how it has been treated. The wines come from the cellars of the Chateau directly to our conditioned Warehouse in Dordrecht where all our wines are stored.

Composed of 52% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot and 4% Cabernet Franc, harvested from September 17 to October 5, the deep garnet-purple colored 2018 La Dame de Montrose delivers a profound nose of baked plums, blackberry preserves and raisin cake with touches of dark chocolate, licorice, Chinese five spice and sandalwood. Full-bodied, rich and opulent in the mouth, it fills the palate with ripe, generous fruit, backed by firm, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and spicy.
“Yes, the early part of the season was a challenge,” Communications Manager Hélène Brochet confessed. “Sixty-five percent of the vineyard is organic. We didn’t give up—we stuck to it, and now we have decided to go 100% organic. 2018 proved to us we could be organic without suffering too much. The organic blocks needed 15 treatments this year. Non-organic required 12, which is not such a big difference. The results were the same.”
In the end, yields were still pretty low at Montrose at just 26 hectoliters per hectare, mainly due to coulure (flowering/fruit set problems) and smaller berries (20% below average) rather than mildew.
“2018 was hotter than 2016,” Brochet went on to tell me. “We had very tiny berries. The juice was completely black the first day of harvest. Extraction had to go easy—we had to be careful to extract only what we needed. We had to stop the extraction early. We created six different levels of press wines."

Château Montrose is one of the most prestigious Médoc chateaus. Especially since the wealthy brothers Martin and Olivier Bouygues bought the chateau in 2006 and started a rigorous 'makeover'. They tackled absolutely everything from vineyard to cellar. The team is also being strengthened, including with Hervé Berland, who says goodbye to his position as director at Château Mouton-Rothschild to lead this ambitious project. Quality has skyrocketed ever since and the last few vintages Château Montrose has consistently been among the very best wines in Bordeaux; a great achievement! Part of the major quality improvement is a 'parcelic' approach, in which the vineyard is divided into small pieces, each of which is assessed, vinified and raised separately. The selection options have increased enormously as a result. Such that, in addition to a first and second wine, a third wine has also seen the light.
Chateau Montrose makes powerful wines that have a long life ahead of them. Although very tannic, the elegance and especially intensity is memorable. This one of the very best St. Estèphe wines has the 2nd Grand Cru Class status but could easily compete in the highest 1st Cru class. Since the 1989 harvest, followed by a 100-point score by Robert Parker in 1990, Montrose has earned a worldwide reputation and ranks among the greatest Bordeaux.
