Ch. Montrose Grand Cru Classe Saint Estephe Red Wine 2005 75cLBy Winebuyers

Ch. Montrose, Grand Cru Classe, Saint Estephe, 2005 is a 75cl red wine from Winebuyers. Montrose is one of the two 2nd Growth chateaux in Saint-Estephe, located in the eastern end of the commune directly north of the Marbuzet village, and with beautifully ventilated vineyards only 800m from the Gironde River. The estate has 68 hectares of vineyards with south-east aspect and deep gravel and clay soils, planted with two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, a little less than one third Merlot, and the remainder Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Montrose is known for its concentration, flesh and depth with a fine tannic structure that ensures most vintages will age for decades. This balance and fruit concentration also makes Montrose accessible much earlier than other wines from the region. This wine is suitable for both men and women.
