La Dame de Montrose is the second wine from Château Montrose, a Second Growth estate situated in the Saint-Estèphe appellation. The wine is made to the same exacting standards as the Grand Vin and from grapes grown in the same vineyard. The 2010 vintage is made up of a blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot. Reviewed by the critic James Suckling as follows, `Wonderful aromas of blueberries, spices and chocolate with a hazelnut undertone. Creamy texture. Full and very fine with lovely texture and spices and berries. Currants too. Long and gorgeous.`
