The history of Montrose, written in two centuries by three families of owners, is depositary of their spirit, marked by their quest of excellence and legendary vintages. Pioneers in the Médoc, visionary builders and wise managers, all these families knew how to work and valorise this unique terroir. The estate owes them the foundation on which Montrose builds its image today and its unique place in the world of exceptional wines.

<span dir="auto">Made from the same vineyard and with the same meticulous care as the Grand Vin, La Dame de Montrose, from a second selection, is a predominantly Merlot wine, supple and silky. Its pronounced red fruit aromas offer another expression of the terroir in a style all its own.</span>

<span dir="auto">A reliable wine that expresses its maturity more quickly, this wine was created in 1983 in homage to Yvonne Charmolüe, who managed Château Montrose alone from 1944 to 1960. With production varying from year to year, this wine is aged for 12 months in 30% new barrels and represents on average 40 to 45% of the total production of the Montrose vineyard.</span>

Alcohol 13.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
The colour is on a deep red.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
The very expressive nose is slightly woody, dominated by black fruits (blueberry, blackberry and black cherry). It also reveals subtle notes of cedar and tobacco leaves.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Tension and length in mouth are combined with a good balance. Tannins are precise and silky. The aromas purity brings finesse and elegance.</p>

The 2017 vintage is particularly notable as it was the final one produced under the 20-year ownership of Baron Velge before the estate was sold to Jacky Lorenzetti  and the integration of Château Clauzet within the structure of Château La Haye.

					<description><![CDATA[Three large plots in the best parts of Pauillac form the vineyard of this classified growth, an unusual configuration and a direct inheritance from the estate’s founder, Pierre Ducasse, an eminent lawyer. In the 18th century he gave a single name to a fine vineyard holding, which was put together through inheritance and purchases. When he died in 1797, his son, Pierre, inherited a 60-hectare exploitation, named Ducasse-Grand-Puy-Artigues-Arnaud, of which two third were planted with vines. The estate was classified in 1855, under the name of Artigues Arnaud.

The second wine, Prélude à Grand-Puy Ducasse, was created in 1955, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the estate's classification.

					<description><![CDATA[At the beginning of the 19th century, John-Lewis Brown (1769-1851), bought a vineyard and designed in the village of Cantenac, a traditional Tudor style château, reminding him of his Scottish origins. His name is forever linked to the Grand Cru Classé. After the 1855 Grand Cru Classification, Louis Armand Lalande (1820-1894), Bordeaux winemerchant and owner of several estates in Médoc, extended the building. Surrounded by a remarkable British style park, Château Cantenac Brown is since then among the most original in Médoc and of the wines to watch out for, getting better vintage after vintage.

BriO de Cantenac Brown is the second wine of Château Cantenac Brown and was first created in the 2001 vintage. From the style of its label, through to the careful selection of lots and to the bottling, the wine aims to express the modernity of Château Cantenac Brown in the 21st Century. Charming, delicate and brilliant, a pleasurable wine for sharing. It can be enjoyed young, but will improve when kept for a few years.

The history of Montrose, written in two centuries by three families of owners, is depositary of their spirit, marked by their quest of excellence and legendary vintages. Pioneers in the Médoc, visionary builders and wise managers, all these families knew how to work and valorise this unique terroir. The estate owes them the foundation on which Montrose builds its image today and its unique place in the world of exceptional wines.

Third blend made from batches of the younger vines and the lees wines, Tertio de Montrose, is produced on the exceptional terroir of Château Montrose and vinified by its teams. Named Saint-Estèphe de Montrose when created in 2008, it was renamed Tertio de Montrose in 2016.

Aged for 12 months, for which 15% in new barrels, this wine is made with the same quality requirements as the Grand Vin and La Dame de Montrose selections. Typical of the Bordeaux blends, this wine can be enjoyed in its early years.

					<description><![CDATA[Château Faugèresis known for wines that demonstrate a stylistic evolution focused on finesse. This trend was put in place at the property by Silvio Denz, a Swiss-German businessman passionate about wine and owner of several vineyards in the Bordeaux region.

A Grand Cru Classé Saint-Émilion, Château Faugères extends over a vineyard of 37 ha located on one of the most beautiful terroirs of the Right Bank, the famous limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion. In order to better respect the environment and to enhance the richness of the soil, the vineyard is cultivated according to a sustainable natural viticulture.

2017 was a vintage of many challenges and an early harvest. Fortunately, Château Faugères was one of the properties spared by frost. The quality of the fruit was preserved throughout the vegetative cycle. An exceptional wine, the Château Faugères 2017 is the second vintage of the estate’s Grand Vin adorned with a Lalique "Calice" engraving.

Chateau Larcis Ducasse 2017 reveals a velvety, sensual and fleshy mouthfeel, which envelops the palate in a succession of different sensations.

Alcohol 14.5%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Elegant and fine red colour.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
Aromas of blackberry and black cherry in liqueur, scents of sweet spices, delicacy of floral notes evoking rose petals and violet, the nose reveals a magnificent bouquet, sunny and concentrated.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
The fine and coated tannins give the wine a monumental structure while the mid-palate focuses on the density of the fruit, to unfold with freshness and liveliness in a finish with persistent and aromatic length.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
16-18 months in barrels, with 70% new oak and 30% in one year old barrels.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Saint-Émilion goes really well with beef dishes such as braised beef, beef burger with cheddar and bacon or with mushroom.</p>
<p><strong>READINESS FOR DRINKING</strong><br />
