The 2021 Dame de Montrose from Château Montrose in Saint-Estèphe, Bordeaux, is a testament to the rich and complex terroir of this renowned region. On the nose, delicate aromas of red currants and blackberries intermingle with hints of cedar, tobacco, and graphite, evoking the classic scents of a Saint-Estèphe wine. On the palate, this wine reveals its full-bodied nature, with firm tannins and a lively acidity that give structure to the rich fruit flavors of black cherry, plum, and cassis. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of spice and a subtle oak influence adding depth and complexity. The deep ruby color of this 2021 vintage is a reflection of its youthful energy and potential for aging. Overall, this is a beautiful expression of Saint-Estèphe, showcasing the elegant and powerful characteristics of this iconic Bordeaux appellation.
Winemakers Notes
La Dame de Montrose, a reliable wine
Made to the same rigorous standards as the First Wine, from grapes grown in the same vineyard, La Dame de Montrose is the estate’s second label. Supple and silky Merlot generally predominates in the varietal mix. Its very pronounced red fruit aromas and flavours reflect another expression of the terroir in a distinctive style which is less elaborately complex than that of the First Wine.
Consistently reliable and reaching maturity sooner, the wine was created in 1983 in tribute to Yvonne Charmolüe, who ran Château Montrose single-handedly from 1944 to 1960.
Production varies from one year to another but accounts on average for 40 à 45% of the total production of the Montrose vineyard.
Aged for 12 months in 30% new french oak barrels.
