"94/100 William Kelley, Wine Advocate
As I wrote last year, the 1995 Montrose is beginning to drink brilliantly, and this most recent example only confirms that. Wafting from the glass with a classic bouquet of red and black currant fruit, rich loamy soil, cigar box and black truffles, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with terrific concentration, ripe tannins and lively acids. The 1995 took its time, but this rather structured, powerful vintage of Montrose is now beginning to soften. Dec 2023"
Created in 1815 by the owner of Calon Segur, Montrose was granted second growth status just a few decades after the estate was created from scrub land. In 2006 the estate was purchased by French construction tycoon Martin Bouygues.
