La Dame de Montrose – Saint-Estèphe – Red – 2019:
La Dame de Montrose is the celebrated Second Wine of Château Montrose, a classified Second Growth from Saint-Estèphe. Named in tribute to Yvonne Charmolüe, who ran the estate for many years, this wine embodies the Montrose pedigree in a more approachable style, often delivering Cru Classé quality at a fraction of the price.
Tasting Notes
The bouquet is immediately inviting, showcasing pronounced aromas of ripe blackcurrant, cherry, and plum, beautifully framed by notes of cedar, tobacco, and a hint of dark spice. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with a supple, velvety texture, thanks to the high proportion of Merlot. The tannins are polished and well-integrated, leading to a long, clean, and persistent finish. A wine that drinks exceptionally well in its youth but can also benefit from several years in the cellar.
Pairing & Service
This sophisticated Bordeaux Red is a perfect match for rich, savory dishes. It excels with prime cuts of beef, roasted lamb, or dishes featuring earthy mushrooms. Decant for 45-60 minutes and serve at 60-64°F (16-18°C) to maximize the experience.
