Structured and tannic but with all the elegance and refinement of a Grand Cru Classé, with time it develops a delicate and complex bouquet. The wines have considerable ageing potential and are exceptionally long-lived. Certain vintages (1921, 1929, 1982, 1990, 2009) are considered legendary. The 2018 vintage was very \u003c\/span\u003esuccessful for the region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, cabernet Franc. 75cl bottle.

Brooding and impenetrable on the nose, the mouthfeel is surprisingly sweet and silky with velvety tannins (a rarity for Montrose), lingering with chocolate and mocha-infused finish. Spicy, lush and imposing, the 2018 is unusally open-knit and expressive after brief aeration, with all the elements perfectly fused.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat happens next\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour bottle will be carefully hand-packed in our mail-safe wine boxes to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.
