Note di degustazione
The first vintage produced from start to finish under the Bouygues family's ownership (they acquired the property in May 2006), the 2007 Montrose offers up attractive aromas of cassis, tobacco leaf, loamy soil and oak vanillin, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy palate that's supple, pure and velvety. This is far from my favorite Médoc vintage, but Montrose is clearly one of the stars.

64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 1% Petit Verdot. Harvested 20 Sept to 11 Oct. Garnet hue with brick at the rim. Lighter than 2006 but fruit apparent. Open and more evolved on the nose. Briary fruit with a leafy, herbal twist and a hint of oak. Supple fruit on the palate with marked acidity keeping it fresh. Slight greenness to the tannins. Smack in its drinking window now. (JL)
Dark and youthful-looking. Smells much younger than most in this tasting. Dark and spicy. Fine texture, fresh, just needing a little more fruit in the middle in an ideal world but just holds the balance. (JH)
Informazioni sul produttore
Ch. Montrose is one of two Second Growths from Saint-Estèphe and one of the most consistent producers in Bordeaux. The wines from this property are both elegant and powerful, and some of the Médoc's most age-worthy .
