Grand cru, Chateau Montrose, Saint-Estèphe, 1952

Seller description

Château Montrose 1952 – Saint-Estèphe, 2ème Grand Cru Classé Level: Mid-shoulder. Label and capsule showing wear consistent with age. A rare appearance of Montrose from the early 1950s. The 1952 vintage yielded wines of balance and finesse, and this bottle exemplifies the château’s classical style. Mature aromas of cedar, cigar box, leather, and dried red fruits unfold with delicacy, while the palate shows soft, resolved tannins and a lingering, savoury finish. Now fully evolved, this is less about power than about the quiet elegance of well-cellared, historic Bordeaux. A collectible bottle offering both drinking pleasure and provenance.
