About This Wine
If 2016 Château Mouton Rothschild is the highlight of the vintage, then 2016 Château Montrose is the runner-up. The Bordeaux red blend displays exquisite balance and enticing aromas of spice and freshly cut flowers. Don’t let the elegant opening fool you, though. This red packs enough power that Kanye West wrote a song about it. (How Kanye wrote “Power” in 2010 before this wine was released is beyond us.) The blend weaves together 68 cabernet sauvignon, 25 merlot, and 7 cabernet franc. After aging in 60 new French oak, it erupts with layers of black fruits, underbrush, graphite, crème de cassis, and smoke. A lean muscularity defines the body while a concentrated core and balletic grace lead into a magical finish. In his review, wine critic Jeb Dunnuck awarded it a 100-point rating, writing, “The 2016 Château Montrose is a monument in the making.” The Final Sip: Those searching for Bordeaux from the 2016 vintage will want to put this magical red blend from Château Montrose on their shortlist.
