92 100Jean-Marc QuarinIl faut bien se rendre à l'évidence le 2007 de Montrose est meilleur que le 2006. La couleur est sombre et de bonne intensité, le nez se présente mûr, fruité, mais aussi animal. La bouche est très ample pour l'année, elle se développe avec du charme, du goût, du fruit et des notes viandées. Finale à la tannicité enrobée et longue, c'est très bon et un grand succès. Heureux ceux qui possèdent des bouteilles, mais surtout des magnums. Je pense que dans ce contenant il réservera de grandes surprises dans quelques années. A consommer de préférence entre 2013 et 2027. Mars 2011.

92 100Robert Parker's Wine AdvocateTasted at BI Wine & Spirits' 10-Years-On tasting, the 2007 Montrose has a crisp, earthy, tobacco-scented bouquet with sage and clove developing in the glass—clearly a Saint Estèphe that is determined to succeed in an off-vintage, which this estate is masterful at doing. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin. This bottle felt compact for this vintage, one of the few 2007s that merit decanting. However, there is undeniably plenty of freshness and a welcome touch of spice towards the finish. Linear in style, this is one of the few 2007s that should improve with bottle age. Drinking window: 2018 - 2035. Neil Martin. February 2017.

A magnificent, dense and deep purple-red colour with violet hues.
Complex aromas of blackcurrant, blond tobacco and chocolate. Slightly oaky.
Long and full-bodied, with notes of morello cherry, raspberry and mocha. A balanced and harmonious wine, consistent, smooth and silky. A supple, long finish with precise, well-integrated tannins.
Château Montrose is located in the heart of Saint-Estèphe. The vineyard, 95 ha in one piece, which is extremely rare in Médoc, was planted on a very well exposed gravelly ridge on the banks of the Gironde; it therefore overlooks its estuary. The soils are composed of gravel, black sand and the subsoils of marl-clay.
Vatting for 18 to 21 days in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, aging for approximately 22 months in oak barrels, 60% of which is new wood.
