Imagine that you have to choose the perfect spot for a vineyard. A place that faces a large body of water would be ideal. That way, vines receive a moderating influence during scorching summers and frigid winters. Well-draining, gravelly soil would help, too. That would ensure natural drainage and a gradual ripening process. Not only does Château Montrose enjoy these benefits, but its vineyard stretches across a single sweep, a “rare and priceless advantage,” according to Wine.com. These immaculate conditions combined with Château Montrose’s reverence for terroir have earned the estate 21 ratings of 98 or higher. That includes the celebrated 2020 vintage. Loaded with black and blue fruits, graphite, tobacco, spice, and a hint of campfire smoke, this weighty Bordeaux blend exudes class and austerity. With a built-to-age structure, patient investors will discover why critics have compared 2020 Château Montrose to the legendary vintages of 1986, 2010, and 2016. The Final Sip: Immaculate terroir. Excellent weather. World-class winemaking. They all aligned to make 2020 Château Montrose the complete package.
Critics Scores
James Suckling
Just starting to open, it shows beautiful spices and dark fruit on the nose and palate. It’s full-bodied with ultra-fine, integrated tannins and an extremely complex, refined finish. Drink or hold.
Decanter
A serious wall of blueberry and blackberry compote, and a ton of savory Cabernet sinew and freshness. This is a great Montrose, inky, broad-shouldered and structured. It needs time to aerate and open in the glass, then you see the precision, the heft, the chiselling of the fruits with a ton of graphite, cigar box and campfire smoke - huge persistency. This will need a long time and will reward patience. One of the few where a 1986, 2016 and 2010 comparison makes sense.
