Château Montrose 2012 - Saint-Estèphe - 2nd Grand Cru Classé
Situated on the heights of Saint-Estèphe, Château Montrose is a benchmark among the Second Grand Cru Classés of 1855. Renowned for its powerful, deep wines designed for ageing, Montrose's 2012 vintage is a wine of great precision, the result of rigorous work both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
