About this Item

La Dame de Montrose Saint-Estèphe 2016
6 (1 x 6) 750ml
La Dame de Montrose Saint-Estèphe is a second wine produced by Château Montrose, one of Bordeaux's prestigious Second Growth (Deuxième Cru Classé) estates in the Saint-Estèphe appellation on the Left Bank of France. It's made from fruit grown in the same vineyard as the Grand Vin (the main Château Montrose wine) however is selected and vinified as a separate cuvée, aimed at earlier accessibility while still showing quality and typicity.

Critics Ratings

‘As you’d expect from the second wine of Montrose in a top year like 2016, this is a muscular, sinewy, densely constructed wine with lots of smoky, aromatic oak, damson and blueberry fruit and layered, compact tannins. Needs time. 2025-36’ - Tim Atkin MW, timatkin.com, 94/100 (Apr 2017)

‘Extremely perfumed and beautiful with bright, violet and plum aromas. Full to medium body, very fine and firm tannins and transparent fruit. Linear and refined with a very long finish. Second wine of Château Montrose. Try in 2022.’ - James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 93/100 (Feb 2019)

‘A little subdued right now but the fresh, floral edging of the grand vin is also clear here, balanced by juicy black fruit flavours and a similar sense of restraint. The blend of 52% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot and 2% Cabernet Franc represents 42% of the estate's production. 2024 - 2035’ - Jane Anson, Decanter, 92/100 (Apr 2017)
