Chateau Montrose

Snow, drought, heat waves, hail… the weather did not spare the Médoc vineyards for 2011! This year more than ever, the vintners got closer to their environment which forced them to adapt their techniques specifically to the weather conditions. In the vineyard, the work was difficult and intense; repeated efforts and full attention were required for the grapes to ripe. In the cellar, the vinification of each vat was carefully monitored and controlled to extract accurate and silky tannins. Balance, freshness, and fine aromas were qualities we sought for precisely along with well defined yet supple tannins, all to reveal the best of the wonderful terroir, Chateau Montrose’s.
