La Dame de Montrose is the distinguished second wine of Château Montrose, one of the great Second Growths of the Médoc. The 2019 vintage offers an accessible yet refined introduction to the château’s grand style, showcasing the depth and structure of Saint-Estèphe with a softer, more approachable touch. A blend led by Merlot with Cabernet Sauvignon and other classic Bordeaux varieties, it delivers plush fruit framed by polished tannins.

In the glass, the 2019 reveals expressive notes of blackberry, cassis, and black cherry, lifted by floral accents and a subtle hint of cedar. On the palate, it is generous and elegant, balancing ripe fruit with freshness and fine-grained tannins. While it can be enjoyed young, it also has the structure to age gracefully over the next decade.

Château Montrose is a prestigious Second Growth estate in Saint-Estèphe, celebrated for producing some of the most powerful and long-lived wines of the Médoc. Its vineyards are planted on deep gravel and clay soils overlooking the Gironde, conditions that bring both structure and intensity to the wines.

La Dame de Montrose, first released in 1983, represents a more supple and accessible expression of the estate’s terroir, while still retaining Montrose’s hallmark depth and elegance. With careful vineyard management and traditional winemaking, Montrose consistently produces wines that rank among Bordeaux’s finest, with La Dame offering exceptional value and early-drinking pleasure.

Bordeaux - located in southwest France, is one of the world’s most renowned and influential wine regions, celebrated for its historic châteaux, age-worthy wines, and unparalleled blending tradition. Divided by the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, Bordeaux is home to two stylistic pillars: the Left Bank, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, and the Right Bank, where Merlot takes the lead. The region’s moderate maritime climate, gravelly and clay-limestone soils, and long growing season provide ideal conditions for producing structured reds, elegant dry whites, and some of the world’s most famous sweet wines, notably from Sauternes. Bordeaux’s appellations—such as Pauillac, Saint-Émilion, Margaux, and Pessac-Léognan—are benchmarks for quality and expression. With centuries of winemaking tradition, strict classification systems, and a global reputation for excellence, Bordeaux continues to set the standard for fine wine around the world.
