La Dame de Montrose, St. Estèphe, 6x75cl

🍷 La Dame de Montrose, Saint-Estèphe
France | Bordeaux – Saint-Estèphe | Bordeaux Blend | Red Wine
Style: Firm, Structured & Classic

✨ The second wine of Château Montrose, La Dame offers a glimpse into the grand estate’s powerful terroir—expressed here with restraint, traditional structure, and old-school charm.

👁️ In the Glass: Deep garnet with subtle bricking at the rim, reflecting bottle age and maturity.

👃 On the Nose: Earthy and evolved with notes of dried red fruits, tobacco, worn leather, and dusty cedar. A faded elegance that hints at its past vibrancy.

💫 On the Palate: Dry and austere with firm, grainy tannins. The fruit has retreated, leaving behind savoury elements—hints of spice, forest floor, and wood smoke. Finishes short and somewhat hollow, yet nostalgic for classic claret lovers.

🍽️ Food Pairing: Best with traditional fare—braised beef, slow-cooked game, or lentil and mushroom stew. Ideal for rustic, earthy dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential: At or past its peak. Best enjoyed now, especially with food to soften its edges.

💎 Why You’ll Love It: For those who appreciate the austere, old-world character of mature Bordeaux, this is a contemplative glass—less about power, more about memory and terroir. A wine for quiet evenings and classic dishes.
