Château Montrose 2009 - Imperial

Château Montrose 2009 Imperial is a rare first wine from one of Saint-Estèphe’s most prestigious estates, crafted through exceptionally strict selection at every stage of production. The 2009 vintage is widely regarded as legendary, combining power, elegance, and remarkable precision in a wine built for long ageing. With its status as a 2nd Growth and its scarcity on the market, this is a collector’s bottle that stands among the great names of Bordeaux.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, Château Montrose 2009 shows a deep, almost inky colour that hints at its concentration and intensity. The nose is layered and complex, unfolding with blackcurrant, blackberry, mulberry, forest floor, damp earth, crushed stone, and subtle floral notes, all framed by finely integrated oak. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, yet remarkably refined, with sweet, abundant tannins and a powerful core of dark fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon brings depth and backbone, while Merlot softens the texture and adds a more supple, polished feel. This is a wine with exceptional ageing potential and is expected to continue evolving beautifully for decades.

Viininvalmistus
The 95-hectare vineyard sits as a single continuous parcel around the château, a rare and historic layout that has remained largely unchanged since the 1855 classification. The terroir of Saint-Estèphe, with warm gravel soils over clay subsoils, is especially well suited to Cabernet Sauvignon, helping the vines retain water during dry periods while producing wines of structure and freshness. The vineyard is planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The wine is aged for 18 months in 60% new French oak, and the selection for the grand vin is extremely strict, with only a portion of the estate’s total production making the final cut.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This is a wine to serve with equally serious dishes such as beef fillet, roast lamb, venison, duck breast, or truffle-accented dishes. Mature hard cheeses and rich mushroom-based plates will also complement its depth and structure. Serve at 16–18°C, and decanting is highly recommended, ideally for several hours if the bottle is being enjoyed young, to allow the wine to open fully and reveal its aromatic complexity.

Tuottaja
Château Montrose traces its origins back to the late 18th century, when it was separated from Château Calon-Ségur. Classified as a 2nd Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it has long been regarded as one of the great estates of Saint-Estèphe, alongside Cos d’Estournel. The château is known for producing powerful, concentrated wines with outstanding longevity, and legendary vintages such as 1921, 1929, 1982, 1990, and 2009 have secured its reputation among Bordeaux’s elite.
