ISELOOMUSTUS

Chateau Montrose on tänapäeval tuntud oma võimsate ja täidlaste Bordeaux’i veini poolest. See pole aga alati nii olnud ja aasta sadu tagasi oli see piirkond tuntud hoopis jahipidamise piirkonnana. Tänapäeval on Chateau Montrose 2éme Cru Classé klassifikatsiooniga veinimõis ja nende kasutuses on 95 hektarit viinapuuaedu. Veiniaia teeb haruldaseks see, et see on ühes suures blokis ja tänu sellele on ta oma regioonis haruldane ja hindamatu eelisega. Pinnas koosneb peamiselt kruusast savi peal ja see soodustab loomulikku äravoolu ja tagab selle, et viinapuud saavad oma vee veealustest veevarudest aeglaselt ja regulaarselt. Viinapuudest on 60% Cabernet Sauvingon, 32% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc ja 2% Petit Verdot. Nende keskmine vanus läheneb 40. aastale. Chateau Montrose on seadnud endale eesmärgiks, et aastaks 2025 on kogu nende saak kasvatatud orgaaniliselt. Veinide kääritamiseks on kasutusel 59 erineva suurusega roostevabast terasest mahutit. Hiljem vein küpseb Prantsuse tammest vaatides keskmiselt 18 kuud, millest 60 % on uued vaadid.

Segu: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3,5% Cabernet Franc ja 0.5% Petit Verdot.

AUHINNAD

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 97 Points

Tasted at the vertical in London, the 2005 Montrose came and delivered the goods. This was the best example of the 2005 that I have tasted, perhaps a wine that is going to prove that, the longer wine lovers can resist temptation. It is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 31% Merlot, 3.5% Cabernet Franc and .5% Petit Verdot picked between 23 September and 9 October. The bouquet is extremely detailed, displaying more red berry fruit compared to the 2010 Montrose that leans towards black. Graphite and cedar emerge with time, even an unusual floral scent that is uncommon with respect to this property, whilst all the time retaining fantastic focus and delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with a ferrous tincture on the entry. There are the first signs of secondary notes (dried leaves and bay leaf), but it is the tannic backbone and the precision that really defines this Montrose at the moment. For certain, it is masculine and structured, yet it has enormous potential, perhaps more than was suggested when it was first released? This is for the long term, but you know that already. Tasted June 2016.

James Suckling – 96 Points

This continues to be very tight yet I loved drinking it the other night at dinner. Loads of spices, berries, meat, cloves and chocolate on the nose. Full body with soft, silky tannins and lots of rich fruit. Still chewy. This is just starting to open up now. Drink or hold.
