Ranking notes:
Robert Parker 99/100, James Suckling 97/100, Jancis Robinson 19/20
"The grapes were harvested between September 11 and 26. The blend in 2003 was 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot (a very high percentage), 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine, unlike most 2003s, has a freshness and liveliness provided by their extraordinary terroir. This wine can be drunk now. It has a dense bluish/purple color to the rim and an extraordinary nose of blueberries and mulberries, with blacker cassis and blackberry entering the picture. Scorched earth, spice and licorice are all present in this magnificent, full-bodied, opulent wine that is very Montrose, very classic and somewhat atypical of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2040." Robert M. Parker, Jr.

The producer
Château Montrose
The Château Montrose is a Second Growth of Saint Estèphe. The Bouygues family took over from the Charmolüe family in 2006, and immediately started a modernization of the Cellars. Hervé Berland, manager of the Estate, also handles the current conversion of the vineyard to bio and biodynamie. The Montrose Terroir provides truly great expressions of Cabernet-Sauvignon, that makes up for 65% of the vineyard, 25% being Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
