Château Montrose Grand Cru Classé Tinto

Description

Château Montrose 2005 will be remembered as the year of the drought. Indeed, the water deficit was particularly persistent: as harvest approached, the accumulated rainfall was less than half the average of the previous 30 years. Once again, our clay subsoils played an important role. On the other hand, temperatures were remarkably favorable, particularly during the summer, with a perfect alternation between warm days and cool nights, which ensured that the grapes ripened very well. Without the charming and opulent character of 2003, the Château Montrose 2005 impresses with its exceptional power, the purity of its fruit, and the extraordinary elegance that emerges from it. A great classic vintage without any austerity, but typically Bordeaux. Awards Decanter 96/100; Jancis Robinson 18/20; 98/100 Parker Allergen Information Contains sulfites. SKU: 105881
