Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot deliver the goods for this left bank Bordeaux blend. We’ll get the hooks in early; intense dark red with crimson tints, spiced black fruit, smoky wood. Silky and fresh yet very full with supple tannins leading to a lingering black fruity, liquorice finish. Persistent. This wine was created in 1983 as a tribute to Yvonne Charmolue who ran Chateau Montrose single handedly from ‘44 to ‘60. Chateau Montrose is the history of two centuries and three families spanning from the first plantings in 1815 to its current incarnation under Martin and Olivier Boygues. Situated 5 km north of Paulliac in St Estephe, the northernmost appellation in the Medoc, Chateau Montrose enjoys life on an outcrop overlooking the Gironde estuary, the largest in Europe. This mass of water acts as a natural regulator, limiting excessive destructive cold and tempering the equally troublesome heatwaves. Exemplary drainage through complex layered clay, sand and gravel soils ensures consistently high performing vintages and justifies La Dame’s position as one of the most sought after wines of Bordeaux.

Delivery Times
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
Vintages
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
