Chateau Montrose 1957
/ #56911695
From the classified 2nd Cru estate in Saint-Estèphe, this wine is traditionally made from Cabernet Sauvignon and a smaller proportion of Merlot and other classic Bordeaux grapes. The chateau is known for its structured and age-friendly style, where tannin, minerality and dark fruit notes typically dominate.
The difficult 1957 vintage was characterised by cool, wet conditions throughout the growing season, resulting in wines with lower ripeness and more subdued structure than usual. However, from established producers like this one, a convincing expression could still be achieved, especially for those with patient cellar management. The château’s reputation for delivering classic Bordeaux in the traditional, solid style is evident in vintages like this.
Montrose from this period is characterized by classic vinification with oak aging and minimal intervention. 1957 is generally not considered a great vintage in Bordeaux, and wines from this period are generally best enjoyed within the first few decades after bottling.
