La Dame de Montrose is the second wine of Château Montrose, crafted from the same renowned Saint-Estèphe vineyards as the Grand Vin. It offers expressive aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, plum, cedar, graphite, tobacco, and subtle spice. The palate is elegant and approachable with silky tannins, vibrant freshness, and the classic structure and refinement of Saint-Estèphe.
Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roast beef, duck breast, braised short ribs, venison, mushroom dishes, and aged hard cheeses.
93 Points - James Suckling
What a nose for a second wine! Lovely cassis and delicately leafy/earthy aromas. It’s a rare beast: a really mineral red Bordeaux. This has excellent balance of ripeness and fresh dry tannins and acidity. Long, clean finish.
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast
The wine is powerful with fine tannins and concentrated black fruits. The dense texture is lifted by the acidity and beautiful fruit of the vintage. The tannins are dusty, tight and surrounded by beautiful fruit and acidity. This, the second wine of Montrose, will develop surely over the next several years. Drink from 2024.
90 Points - Decanter
A 50/50 Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend: lots of spice, deep cassis fruit and incredible freshness. Will show soon and last well.
90 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
As to the 2014s, these are beautiful wines and certainly a match for the 2015s. The 2014 La Dame de Montrose offers a deep purple color and classic Cabernet Sauvignon notes as well as a touch of violets, spring flowers and leafy herbs. This medium-bodied, elegant, spicy, complex 2014 has loads of charm yet should keep nicely for 15+ years.
90 Points - Wine Spectator
Offers a brisk, racy feel, with red currant, damson plum and Campari notes coursing through, carried by a bright iron spine through the savory-flecked finish. Very pure and firmly grounded in terroir. Best from 2018 through 2026. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
