The 1855 Classification of Medoc & Graves, Deuxieme Grand Cru

2022 Chateau Montrose – Saint-Estèphe Second Growth Bordeaux

The 2022 Chateau Montrose is a commanding example of Saint-Estèphe’s ability to produce wines of both power and finesse. Classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, Montrose has long been revered for its deep, structured wines with exceptional longevity. In 2022, the estate delivered a wine of remarkable concentration and purity, underscoring its position among the elite producers of the Bordeaux region.

Tasting Notes

Intensely perfumed with aromas of blackcurrant, graphite, and crushed violets, the bouquet is complemented by hints of cedar, tobacco, and dark cocoa. The palate is layered with ripe cassis, plum, and blackberry, framed by refined tannins and a vibrant mineral backbone. The finish is long, resonant, and impeccably balanced—true to Montrose’s signature style.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Situated on a gravel-rich plateau overlooking the Gironde estuary, Montrose’s 95 hectares of vineyards are planted predominantly to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The 2022 vintage benefited from careful canopy management and precise harvesting at optimal ripeness. Vinification took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by élevage in predominantly new French oak barrels.

Investment & Collectibility

Chateau Montrose is widely recognized as one of the most reliable long-term investments among Grands Crus Classés de Médoc. The 2022 vintage, with its exceptional ripeness and balance, will reward decades of careful cellaring and is highly sought after by collectors. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Insights

The 2022 growing season was marked by warmth and sunshine, balanced by well-timed rainfall that preserved acidity and freshness. The resulting wines from Saint-Estèphe are among the most concentrated and age-worthy of the past decade, with Montrose a clear standout.

Jeb Dunnuck

Rating (98 - 100) The 2022 Château Montrose is a classic blend of two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, with the balance 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot, all of which was brought up in 60% new oak from a variety of coopers. Another absolutely brilliant wine in the vintage, it offers a saturated purple hue as well as an essence of Montrose-like bouquet of currants, blueberries, damp earth, violets, graphite, and tobacco leaf. Full-bodied, incredibly concentrated, and powerful, it nevertheless has a riveting sense of purity, precision, and finesse that's hard to believe. Given its balance and purity of fruit, as well as the quality of the tannins, it's going to offer incredible pleasure with just 4-6 years of bottle age (a decade would be best) yet be just about immortal if well stored.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Rating (99 - 100) The 2022 Montrose is such a compelling wine that assigning it a bracketed score seems a mere formality. A brilliant terroir, impeccable viticulture, perfectly timed harvest dates and judicious extraction have aligned to deliver a monument in the making, reminiscent of a far purer, more precise, modern-day version of the 1990 vintage at this address. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cassis, violets, iris, pencil lead and cigar wrapper, it's full-bodied, deep and authoritative, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, elegantly muscular core that's framed by supple, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, resonant finish. A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, this only confirms Montrose's status as a de facto first growth and unquestionably one of the contemporary Médoc's very greatest estates.

Rating (96 - 98) The 2022 Montrose is a brooding, powerful wine, as it so often is. Huge tannins wrap around a core of dark black fruit, chocolate, leather, spice, menthol and licorice. The new oak (60%) is not yet fully integrated, but then again, the 2022 is a baby. A bit of time in the glass helps the elements come together nicely. Readers will have to be exceptionally patient, as the 2022 is not likely to start drinking well until it is at least 15-20 years old. Reviewed by: Antonio Galloni, Issue date: April 2023.
