Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Deep and shiny in color, tobacco leaf, cedar wood, pencil shavings and dark fruits appear with no effort at all. Full bodied, lively, vibrant and juicy fruits, this wine is long and intrepid with a strong tannic backbone. The tannins are perfectly polished and there is an established purity of fruit and a structure to age for decades. Like all the top vintages of Montrose, you will need to allow it time in the cellar, at least 10 to15 years, which in the world of Montrose is almost forward. The wine was made from blending 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, reaching 13.5% alcohol with a pH of 3.65. The Grand Vin was made from 37% of the harvest, which took place September 12 to September 29.

Composed of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and a 1% splash of Petit Verdot, the 2017 Montrose wine was run off into 60% new and 40% one-year old barrels where it was aged for 18 months. The grand vin represented 37% of the estate’s total production. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose takes some time to unfurl before revealing an impressively flamboyant core of black cherry preserves, warm cassis and baked plums with hints of red currant jelly, dark chocolate, licorice, cardamom and chargrill plus a gentle waft of candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has fantastic intensity with a very elegant, modest weight, featuring super-ripe, finely-grained tannins and tons of freshness to lift and show-off a stunning array of gorgeous black fruit and fragrant sparks, finishing very long and refined. This is an incredibly classy, poised and sophisticated Montrose!
The nose is elegant, fresh and offers power, a fine grain and delicacy. It reveals notes of fresh blackberry, fresh strawberry and small notes of violet associated with fine touches of liquorice, bourbon vanilla pod and an imperceptible hint of black pepper. The mouth is fruity, fresh, elegant and offers a beautiful finesse of the grain and a fine complexity. On the mouth this wine expresses notes of juicy/crunchy blackcurrant, juicy/crunchy red berries and small notes of raspberry associated with touches of blackberry, violet, iris as well as fine hints of tonka bean. Tannins are elegant, structuring and very discreetly tight. A very discreet hint of coffee and ripe almond on the persistence/aftertaste.

Tasted on two separate occasions, the 2017 Chateau Montrose is a brilliant effort based on 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Petit Verdot. This full-bodied, beautifully concentrated Saint-Estate offers classic Cabernet Sauvignon notes of creme de cassis, blueberries, crushed violets, and ample tobacco, with some underlying damp earth and spice notes developing with time in the glass. Balanced and beautifully textured on the palate, with both good acidity and building tannins, it reminds me of the 2012 with its classic style yet still has plenty of texture and ripe tannins. Give bottles 4-5 years of bottle age and enjoy over the following 30 years or more.
James Suckling
Extremely aromatic with currant, wild-herb and fresh-violet aromas. This is regal cabernet sauvignon at its finest. The palate has unwaveringly long and defined tannins that carry such fresh, piercingly pure, redcurrant and cassis flavors. A twin to the superb 2015? A blend of 76% cabernet sauvignon, 20% merlot, 3% cabernet franc and 1% petit verdot.

Varmt och torrt år genom hela säsongen; södra områden som drabbas mest av vårfrost, medan Médoc i allmänhet skonas. Väl tajmade regn förhindrade mognadsblockering, men september spädde ut tidigare mognad Merlot. Viner är fräscha och rena; bäst i Pauillac och St.-Julien, andra AOC mer heterogena.Högra stranden | Pomerol & Saint-Emilion

Varm, torr växtsäsong, med vårfrost som drabbar låglänta områden i St.-Emilion och satelliter särskilt hårt. Molnig juli höll rankorna på den fräscha, rena sidan, med bra syra och blygsamma tanniner. St.-Emilion på toppen av kalkstensplatån är utmärkt, Pomerolerna är köttiga och energiska.
