Dame De Montrose Saint-Estèphe, 2023

Dame de Montrose Saint-Estèphe 2023 is the second wine of Château Montrose, offering a refined introduction to one of Saint-Estèphe’s most respected estates. Crafted with the estate’s signature precision, it captures the structure and depth of the vintage while remaining more approachable in its youth. As a Bordeaux from a property with deep roots in the appellation’s history, it reflects both pedigree and consistency.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with youthful purple reflections. The nose leans toward dark berries, blackcurrant, plum, and subtle floral and cedar notes, with the classic Saint-Estèphe edge of graphite and spice. On the palate, expect a medium- to full-bodied wine with firm tannins, bright freshness, and layered dark fruit supported by savoury, mineral nuances. While already attractive in its youth, the 2023 vintage should also reward short- to medium-term cellaring, gaining complexity over the next several years.

Production
Sourced from the Château Montrose vineyard in Saint-Estèphe, the wine benefits from the estate’s gravelly and clay-limestone soils, which help deliver concentration, structure, and freshness. Grapes are typically harvested with careful plot-by-plot selection to preserve precision and balance, then vinified with the same attention to detail as the grand vin, with aging usually carried out in oak to build texture and complexity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, beef fillet, duck breast, or mushroom-based dishes, as well as mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young to soften the tannins and bring out the aromatic detail.
