{"title":"Chateau Montrose","description":"\u003cp\u003eChateau Montrose is a second growth in Saint-Estephe, the northernmost of the Medoc villages, and the misconception is that its reputation for firmness means the wines are hard. Saint-Estephe has more clay under the gravel than its neighbours to the south. Clay holds water, ripening runs later, and the tannins arrive with more grip. That grip softens with time, which is the entire point of the style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe range divides three ways. La Dame de Montrose is the second wine, from lots that give earlier. The grand vin runs across vintages spanning several decades. Above and outside both sit large formats and older reconditioned bottles, which are collector items rather than dinner wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin the grand vin, price follows vintage reputation closely. A well-regarded year costs several times a quieter one, and much of that gap is auction demand rather than what is in the glass.

Changeable weather meant that everyone had to be especially attentive, both in the vineyard and in the winery; it also meant taking a significant risk at harvest time.\r\nAfter a very cold spell in February and March, wet weather in spring held back the vegetation cycle. Flowering did not start until 6 June and took place slowly, taking until the end of the month and already heralding a slightly late vintage. Coulure and millerandage struck some of the Merlots, though the Cabernets were unaffected. It was already clear that yields would be lower than the average in previous years. July brought a hot and dry summer, very favourable conditions which prevailed until mid-September. Veraison was a little late but very even, especially in the Cabernet Sauvignon, the predominant grape variety at Montrose.\r\nSpells of rain returned in the second half of September and lasted throughout the harvest. With the weather starting to deteriorate, on 16 September our team of harvesters started pre-harvest leaf removal in all parcels, greatly improving ventilation of the grapes. At that point we knew that the keys to the vintage lay in the quality of our terroir and the measured risk we would be taking to enable the different grape varieties to reach optimum maturity.\r\nWe started harvesting the first Merlots on 26 September, followed by the Cabernet Sauvignons from 7 October. Our terroir is remarkably well ventilated, especially the parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon on the great plateau, which helped to dry out the grapes and keep them free of botrytis. Harvesting finished late, on 16 October, but the last grapes were in good condition and fully mature. The crop was hand-sorted with particular care at the vat-house, ensuring that only the best grapes were kept. This initial selection was important, especially for the Merlots, which the weather had made more fragile. The Cabernet Sauvignons were perfectly mature and healthy and, with 70% of the blend, formed the basis of Château Montrose 2013.\r\nOverall, this is a good vintage for our wine, standing alongside classic years like 1998, when weather conditions were very similar to those in 2013.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeriod of Harvest\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003eSeptember 26th – October 16th\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabernet sauvignon : 68 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMerlot : 29 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCabernet franc : 3 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\r\n\u003c\/strong\u003eThe wine has an attractive, clear and glittering ruby colour.\r\nThe nose, still slightly closed, is very fresh and minty, marked by raspberry aromas along with more toasted notes and a touch of caramel.\r\nFrom a clean and bright attack, the straight palate shows balance in the middle, with good grip revealing liquorice notes.

The wine is Cabernet Sauvignon dominated - dark, full bodied, muscular and rich. In 2006 the estate was bought by the Pouygues family, who invested €55 million in a high speed environmentally-friendly renovation. This is a wine to treasure in the cellar. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"score-header\" data-target=\"#modal-tab-1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"score-header\" data-target=\"#modal-tab-1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e92-93 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"scorer\"\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"plus-minus\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp class=\"critic-text\" data-target=\"#modal-tab-1\"\u003eElegant and racy wine with blueberry, blackberry and mineral aromas. Full to medium body, with fine tannins. Pretty length.

Medium to full-bodied with sweet tannin and impressive concentration, this blend of 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot hit nearly 13% natural alcohol (relatively high in Bordeaux, but lower than the 13.2% in 2009 and 13.8% in 2010). The 2011 should drink well for 15 or more years.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"score-header\" data-target=\"#modal-tab-3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e90-93 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"scorer\"\u003eStephen Tanzer - Vinous\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"plus-minus\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp class=\"critic-text\" data-target=\"#modal-tab-3\"\u003e(63% cabernet sauvignon; 22% merlot, 12% cabernet franc and 3% petit verdot): Deep ruby-purple. Mineral notes complicate scents of fresh blackcurrant and cedar. Dense and pure on entry, then almost austere in the middle, showing very refined flavors of crystallized blackcurrant and juicy blackberry. Finishes with rising, noble tannins and a minty edge. Only 44% of total production (rather than normal 65%) went into the grand vin because the cabernets didn't produce as much. Note that since 2007 more of the estate's cabernet franc and petit verdot are going into the flagship wine; in fact, Glumineau plans to remove some merlot and add more cabernet franc.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"score-header\" data-target=\"#modal-tab-4\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"score\"\u003e93 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"scorer\"\u003eWine Spectator\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"plus-minus\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp class=\"critic-text\" data-target=\"#modal-tab-4\"\u003eFeatures some lovely plum, black currant and blackberry fruit, already melded into the core, while a pure, long and rather regal structure runs through the finish, letting extra charcoal and pebble notes play out.
