Dame de Montrose 2024 en Primeur

The 2024 La Dame De Montrose is based on 73% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aging in 15% new oak, with a small amount in foudre and amphora. Juicy, lively red and blue fruits, spring flowers, and spice all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, with a pretty, pure, elegant texture and soft tannins. It's a charming, seamless second wine that will offer pleasure right out of the gate.

A refined and crunchy second wine with red currants and blackcurrants, some crush stones and juicy tannins. A nice center palate. Balanced and pretty for the vintage. Medium finish. From organically grown grapes. 73% melrot, 20% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petite verdot and 3% cabernet franc.

If the grand vin is built for the ages, the 2024 La Dame de Montrose plays a different hand, emphasizing suavity and charm. Offering up notes of blackcurrants, raspberries, violets and licorice, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and suave, with supple tannins, lively acids and a seamless, complete profile. It's a blend of 73% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc that sees a more reductive élevage than the grand vin.

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Dark wild berries, a hint of liquorice, black cherries, fine wood spice, inviting bouquet. Juicy, elegant, fresh cherry fruit, lively structure, mineral, salty finish, a refined food wine with a red berry aftertaste.
