Wine 90 Point Rating

Chateau Montrose Saint-Estephe 1999

Chateau Montrose Saint-Estephe 1999

90 Points - Jeff Leve. Scored 90 points by Jeff Leve, who found it bright, fresh and ready to go, with more weight and density than you'd expect from a cool vintage. This mature Second Growth comes from the Saint-Estèphe estate that Wine Spectator calls a jewel of the northern Médoc, and that has earned a string of perfect 100 point scores in recent vintages. Cabernet Sauvignon gives it structure and blackcurrant, while Merlot adds a supple, gentle heart. It is a serious dinner wine for roast beef, lamb, game or a hard cheese. Decant it carefully off any sediment and serve it just below room temperature.

Taste

Dense purple in youth, now garnet at the rim. The nose is classic and savoury, with red fruits, cedar, tobacco, wet earth, smoke, cigar wrapper and spiced cherries. The palate is medium to full bodied, bright, fresh and crisp, with real weight and density and silky, melted tannins. There are leafy notes, herbs and crunchy red fruit on the finish, as you'd expect from a cool vintage. Ready to drink now, and there is little to be gained by waiting.

About the Producer

Château Montrose is a Second Growth in Saint-Estèphe, facing the Gironde estuary, on deep gravel over clay. It was created in the early 19th century by Étienne Théodore Dumoulin on a piece of land called La Lande d'Escargeon, and it was ranked a Second Growth in 1855. The vineyard surrounds the château in one continuous sweep, which is very rare in Bordeaux. The Bouygues brothers, Martin and Olivier, bought it in 2006 and invested heavily in renovation and environmental projects, so this 1999 was made before their time.

As indicated in our Quality Promise we will happily refund or exchange any faulty bottles. All we ask is the bottles in question are returned to us at least half full for verification purposes. If a bottle is broken on delivery we will also replace or refund it but we do require photographic evidence of the breakage. Equally we can arrange for the bottles to be collected the next time you receive a delivery from us.

Should we be unable to fulfil any part, or all of an order, Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) will suggest comparable substitutions. You are free to refuse these suggestions and are eligible for a full refund of relevant parts of the order.

In all instances, Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) must be informed of any claim within 24 hours of receipt of delivery by email or telephone. All refunds will be issued after we have received and approved the faulty items and the amount will be re-credited to your account within 30 days. The amount refunded will be equal to the full amount paid for the relevant products at the time of purchase and must be made by the same payment method as the original sale.

If you choose to cancel your contract of sale with Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) you may do so within 30 days of receipt of the goods. If the goods have already been dispatched they must be returned to us unopened and undamaged, and Perfect Cellar (Beyond the Bottle Ltd) will not be liable for any costs associated with the original or return delivery. 

No refund can be given when a case has left bond as the value will be affected. Individual bottles of Fine Wine will be considered for refund on a case-by-case basis.

We advise contacting our Customers Services team before making any claim to ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.

Advent Calendars - Due to the made-to-order nature of our Advent Calendars, they are not eligible for a full refund. However, we reserve the right to issue a refund in the form of store credit.
