2016年のシャトー・モンローズは、紛れもなくこのヴィンテージのトップ2~3のワインの一つであり、記念碑的ワインです!
ジロンド河の河口に壮麗な館をそびえ立たせるシャトーは、ひときわ清潔感溢れるセラーを保有し、そこから比類なき高品質のワインを生み出しています。その結果、サンテステフの中でも最も信頼のおけるシャトーとして、安定した地位を保っているというわけです。
モンローズは、1級シャトーがないサン・テステフにおいてトップクラスの逸品を輩出しており、オー・メドックの格付けが見直された場合、1級に昇格する可能性は限りなく高いであろう、との評価も受けています。
その歴史は古くまで遡り、1896年以来の同族運営により、安定した品質のワインを造り続けています。近年も畑の土壌や醸造システムの改良など、設備投資にますます力を入れ、醸造コンサルタントにボルドー大学のリベロ・ガイヨン教授を迎えるなど、改革には余念がありません。

Unquestionably one of the top 2-3 wines of the vintage, the 2016 Chateau Montrose is a monument in the making. Checking in as a blend of 68% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 7% Cabernet Franc raised in 60% new French oak (the balance was in once-used barrels) and representing a tiny 36% of the production, this deep purple-colored 2016 possesses powerful, incredibly classic Saint-Estephe notes of creme de cassis, graphite, damp earth, lead pencil shavings, and burning embers. With a powerful, full-bodied style on the palate, a huge mid-palate, lots of underlying structure and tannic grip, and perfect balance, this magical wine will need upwards of a decade or cellaring and keep for 40-50 years.

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2016 Montrose is a little youthfully shy to begin, but with coaxing, it unfurls to reveal the most beguiling scents of wilted roses, oolong tea, crushed rocks, wild sage, star anise and candied violets over a wonderfully pristine, well-defined core of crushed blackcurrants, black raspberries and kirsch plus wafts of pencil lead and wood smoke. The taut, muscular, medium to full-bodied palate straddles jaw-dropping intensity and finesse superbly, featuring a solid backbone of ripe tannins and giving a firm frame right through the incredibly long, exquisitely nuanced finish.

20 Jan, 2019 The floral and fresh aromas to this are mesmerizing. Roses and lilacs galore. The pure cab aromas coming from the glass ? blackcurrants and blackberries - are so memorable. Full-bodied, deep and profound. The ultra-fine tannins on the palate are so polished and fine-grained. The finish goes on for minutes with subtle yet superb fruit. It’s all about precision and form here. A modern classic for Montrose. Better after 2026.

The 2016 Montrose displays a pixelated, detailed bouquet that is supremely focused. There is more “airiness” to this wine [compared to previous bottles], and an expressive floral component of pressed iris and incense that is wonderfully entwined with the black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with lithe tannins, quite sensual and utterly harmonious, leading to a caressing but very deep, quite profound finish. Like the 2016 Meyney that preceded it, this is very persistent and should age with style and charm. Tasted blind at the Southwold tasting.-- Neal Martin
