A bottle of 2005 Château Montrose, a second growth in the 1855 Classification from the Saint-Estèphe appellation in Bordeaux. he vineyards are planted with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, with the vines planted in a single solid block on gravel and iron-rich soil.
'The last year for Montrose under the Charmolüe family, before the Bouygues bought in 2006....You can now clearly see where this is heading, but it will continue to build over the next few years, and then stay on the plateau for decades. Proof that whatever the Bouygues paid for it the following year, they were getting one of the greatest estates in the Médoc. 60% new oak. 98/100' Jane Anson, JaneAnson.com, 2022
