Château Montrose 2003

Located in Saint-Estephe, this prestigious second-growth winery produces powerful, long-lived wines, often referred to as the "Latour of the Médoc." Its greatest features are its location near the Gironde River and its exceptional terroir. The gravelly and clay-limestone soils impart structure and minerality to its Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines, resulting in deep flavors that can withstand long-term aging. In recent years, the winery has actively adopted sustainable farming methods, resulting in wines that combine elegance with power.

2003 was a unique vintage, affected by extreme heat, but the winemaker overcame these harsh conditions to produce an astonishing wine. Powerful, concentrated blackberry and cassis fruit flavors are complemented by nuances of spice, tobacco, and licorice, creating a rich and complex flavor. The rich tannins and structured structure suggest the potential for long-term aging. This unique Bordeaux, nurtured by nature and passion, combines the sensual charm of a hot year with the elegance of Montrose.
