Grape Varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon: 24%, Merlot: 76%
Made to the same rigorous standards as the First Wine, from grapes grown in the same vineyard, La Dame de Montrose is the estate’s second label. Supple and silky Merlot generally predominates in the varietal mix. It`s very pronounced red fruit aromas and flavours reflect another expression of the terroir in a distinctive style that is less elaborately complex than that of the First Wine.

Consistently reliable and reaching maturity sooner, the wine was created in 1983 in tribute to Yvonne Charmolüe, who ran Château Montrose single-handedly from 1944 to 1960. Production varies from one year to another but accounts on average for 40-45 % of the total production of the Montrose vineyard. Aged for 12 months in 30% new French oak barrels.

Tasting Notes:
The wine is a glittering, deep ruby red. The nose opens on discreet, elegant, warm chocolate and mocha notes, developing fresher aromas of blackcurrant, ripe fruit and dill on airing, and perfectly integrated oak. The palate is bright, supple, and clean, and the velvety, beautifully balanced tannic structure perfectly harmonises with the toasted brioche and liquorice flavours. The fruit flavours remain on a relatively long and very fresh finish.

THE GRAPE

 

Cab.Sauvignon Blend

Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.

In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.

In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
