Born from a hillside of heather overlooking the Gironde, Château Montrose carries, in its very name, the imprint of its origins. This place, endowed with singular qualities, raised the estate to the rank of Second Growth in the 1855 Classification, heralding a future both radiant and full of promise.
One of the superstars of the vintage, this classic Montrose is not as showy or opulent as the 2010, 2009 or 2003, but it offers a dense purple color followed by gorgeously sweet black raspberry and black currant fruit intermixed with loamy, earthy, forest floor notes, a floral component and a long, full-bodied finish. The 2008 was fashioned from yields of 44 hectolitres per hectare which is slightly less than the 2010's 45 hectolitres per hectare. Forget it for 5-8 years and drink it over the following 20+. 95/100 Robert Parker- Wine Advocate- May 2011
Château Montrose 2008, a structured Saint-Estèphe Bordeaux blend, pairs best with rich, protein-rich dishes like grilled beef, lamb, or game, where its firm tannins and dark fruit are balanced by the fat and protein. It also complements aged cheeses and hearty stews, as the wine’s acidity and structure stand up to bold flavors.
