This 1er Cru is youthful and already shows great depth

which was recognized in 1946

2009 Chateau Montrose Saint-Estephe Chardonnay This 1er Cru is youthful100 points, The Wine Advocate "A brilliant wine that stands out as one of the high points of the vintage, the 2009 Montrose unwinds in the glass with a rich and incipiently complex bouquet of dark berries, cigar wrapper and loamy soil, framed by a deftly judged touch of new oak. Full bodied, broad and enveloping, it's a velvety, layered and impressively dynamic wine that's deep and concentrated, exhibiting terrific balance and a long, resonant finish.
