Jeb Dunnuck

A full-bodied powerhouse as well as a perfect wine, the 2018 Château Montrose is a final blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc that was raised in 60% new French oak. Boasting a deep purple hue as well as awesome levels of crème de cassis and smoky blackberry fruits and notes of tobacco, lead pencil, scorched earth, and chocolate, it's deep, opulent, and incredibly concentrated on the palate, with no shortage of mid-palate depth, tannins, or length. It reminds me a little of a fresher version of the 2003, although there's more Cabernet Sauvignon in 2018 as well as less Merlot. It has that classic Montrose minerality and backward, mineral-laced style, yet I suspect this will be drinkable in just 5-6 years and should evolve into a modern-day legend from this terroir.

The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Montrose comes bounding out with powerful notes of blackcurrant cordial, chocolate-covered cherries, blueberry compote, and red roses, followed by scents of Indian spices, graphite, and dusty soil. The medium to full-bodied palate is full-on concentrated and decadent, yet has a beautifully crafted structure of firm, fine-grained tannins and balancing freshness, finishing long and spicy.

James Suckling

Purity and beauty on the nose with blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, crushed-stone and violet character. A full-bodied red with masses of polished tannins and intense flavors of currants and blackberries. Juicy finish. Super depth to this. Goes on for minutes. Try after 2027.

About This Wine

The 2018 Château Montrose is one of those rare wines where everything came together. A legendary estate. An exceptional vintage. A perfect 100-point score. The result is a Saint-Estèphe of remarkable power and poise, carrying the depth, structure, and pedigree that have made Montrose one of Bordeaux's most sought-after names. Few estates have built a reputation for longevity quite like Montrose. For more than two centuries, the property has produced wines celebrated for their ability to evolve gracefully over decades, shaped by an exceptional terroir, meticulous vineyard stewardship, and unwavering attention in the cellar. The 2018 continues that legacy with a Cabernet-driven blend that perfectly captures the estate's hallmark balance of strength, precision, and age-worthy character. What makes the 2018 especially compelling is its place in the evolution of the Château. Following years of investment in the vineyards, winery, and sustainability initiatives, the estate has entered what many consider a modern golden era. The 2018 stands among the finest expressions of that progress, uniting centuries of tradition with the precision of contemporary viticulture and winemaking. For Bordeaux collectors, it is more than a great vintage. It is a landmark release from one of the region's most revered châteaux.
