Red Wine
Saint-Estèphe (Grand Cru Classé)
Château Montrose · Saint-Estèphe, France
About this wine
A towering figure in Saint-Estèphe, Château Montrose is a prestigious Second Growth famous for producing some of Bordeaux's most structured and long-lived wines. This full-bodied blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot is defined by its gripping high acidity and a traditional 12.8% ABV. Its firm architectural framework is a hallmark of the French appellation. When pairing, this intensely masculine red wine requires substantial protein to soften its edges, making it ideal for beef, lamb, game meat, and poultry.
