"...schöne, komplexe Frucht, gewisse Süße, Charme, kräftige Säure, mittlerer Körper, dezente Bitterschoko, schlankere Mitte, recht kräftige Tannine, sehr blaubeeriges Finale." (04/2025)

Decanter: 96 Punkte

"Vivid deep colour in the glass. High acidity as well as sweet and sour fruit make the first impression - lifted and charming this has a fun personality while being structured and long. Fine tannins support the blackcurrant and chocolate elements and I love the licks of wet stone on the finish. A little charged, somewhat unusually for the vintage, but the concentration really works. You don't get the impression they struggled at all. Great texture and balance. Very impressive. Optical sorting. A yield of 38hl/ha. 45% grand vin production up from 41% normally. 13% press wine. Ageing 60% new oak for 18 months." - Georgina Hindle (04/2025)


Jane Anson: 95 Punkte

"Beautifully deep colour, this shows chalk, violet flowers, peony, fragrant and enticing floral profile compared to so many in the vintage, this is excellent, cocoa bean, cassis, depth, layers and concentration - one of the wines of the vintage. 15% press wine, a little more than usual. Harvest 23 September to 8 October, Pierre Grafeuille estate director." (04/2025)


Falstaff: 95 Punkte 

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart rauchig-kräuterwürzig unterlegte schwarze Waldbeerfrucht, feines Cassis, Brombeerkonfitüre, Nuancen von Edelholz, attraktives Bukett. Komplex, engmaschig, dunkle Kirschen, reife, erstklassige Tannine, gute Frische, mineralisch im Abgang, elegant, bleibt haften, verfügt über Länge und Potenzial, ein klassisches Aromenbild." - Peter Moser (04/2025)


Yves Beck: 98-100 Punkte 

"18 Monate Reifung in Barriques für Montrose (davon 60 % neu). Montrose 2024 besticht durch Tiefe, Intensität und Reinheit. Das Bouquet ist von subtilen Noten von Holunder, Cassis und Heidelbeeren geprägt und präsentiert sich elegant, klar und gelassen. Hinzu kommt eine blumige Note, die nicht nur die Frische, sondern auch die Komplexität unterstreicht. Dicht und leicht lieblich im Auftakt, wird der Wein von feinkörnigen Tanninen gestützt, die ihm nicht nur Kraft, sondern auch ein wertvolles Kapital bezüglich Kellerreife verleihen. Solide, geradlinig und begeisternd, setzt Montrose seine Kraft mit Fingerspitzengefühl, Prägnanz und Souveränität ein! Ein Wein, der sich eindeutig vor dem Jahrgang positioniert, oder besser gesagt darüber: Er überfliegt ihn brillant, gelassen und mit Blick auf Großes." (04/2025)


Vinum: 97 Punkte 

"Dunkle Farbe, tiefgründige Nase, Schwarzkirschen, Cassis, Rauch, Tabak, Eukalyptus, Mandelblüten; der Gaumen ist zupackend, dicht, Massen an Gerbstoff, hervorragende Struktur, das ist im Kontext des Jahrgangs ein wahres Monument, der Wein hat Biss, Druck und Länge. Einer der besten Weine des Jahrgangs." (04/2025)

"Sourced exclusively from Terrace 4, the first part of the property to be planted well before the classification. Tasted just after Terrace III, it is difficult to imagine that this could be better. It is. Even more intense in its florality. Again, wisteria and now with a little iris too. Many wines of the vintage have a bulby character to their florality. Not here. This is all about the petals. It’s very delicate. There’s a hint of violet too but it doesn’t overpower the more subtle floral notes that feel very natural and that take the limelight. Graphite and deep dark berry fruits on the palate – black berries, brambles and mulberries. A little red cherry. The fruit profile is rather more familiar than for the Terrace III wine. There’s more gravitas, depth and profundity too. The wine also seems to gather more towards the bottom of the mouth and has more amplitude in its depth. It’s a little more serious but never austere. I love the contrast. The left-bank wine of the vintage." - Colin Hay (04/2025)

The 2024 Montrose has a little more Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend due to the yields in various parcels. It was picked between September 23 and October 7 and matured in 60% new oak. The well-defined and very able nose demonstrates classicism, fine delineation and a little more florality than the Terrasse III. The palate is medium-bodied with very finely chiselled tannins and a keen line of acidity. This symmetrical Saint-Estèphe is blessed with an elegant, sapid and reassuringly precise finish that the estate seems to have honed in the last few years. It does not have the unbridled ambition of, say, the 2020 Montrose, but it is exceptionally well crafted and will become a fine Saint-Estèphe.

This shows finesse and elegance as well as plenty of subtle red currant and blackcurrant character. Medium-bodied with refinement and length. Tender, vivid and pure. Extremely well done in a difficult year. 80% cabernet sauvignon, 17% merlot and 3% cabernet franc. (04/2025)

The 2024 Château Montrose is on another level and clearly one of the wines of the vintage. Based on 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, it's aging in 60% new barrels. Gorgeous notes of cassis, violets, graphite, and smoky tobacco all emerge from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, it has remarkable purity, fine yet building tannins, and a great finish. Coming in at 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.5, this estate continues to deliver First Growth quality year after year. (05/2025)

Deep garnet-purple colored. Prances out with energetic notes of black raspberries, black currant jelly, and kirsch, leading to hints of wet slate, mossy tree bark, dried mint, and forest floor, with a touch of rose oil. The light to medium-bodied palate is like a tightly coiled string, revealing great tension and firm, fine-grained tannins to support, finishing very long and minerally. Nicely done! (05/2025)

A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, the 2024 Montrose is a serious, muscular effort that numbers among the wines of the vintage. Unwinding in the glass with notes of cassis, burning embers, cigar wrapper and iris, it's medium to full-bodied, dense and layered, with a lively spine of acidity, rich structuring tannins and a long, penetrating finish. With both the highest proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon recorded at Montrose and a rather low pH of 3.55, it will surely number among the longest lived 2024 Bordeaux.
