    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    La Dame de Montrose, St Estèphe, 2014

    We are huge fans of what Hervé Berland is doing at Montrose. The northern Medoc enjoyed the best of the conditions in 2014. Dame de Montrose has certainly exceeded our initial expectations. This is full of graphite and cassis. Very classic and Médocain with hints of flowers and pure ripe berries. The palate is refined and serious with layers of bittersweet fruit and minerals, culminating in a finish of refinement and class. A really outstanding and serious second wine.

    Silky tannins with grip and intensity, a lovely balance of texture and fresh acidities. Slate and pummice stone grip, this is delicious, with appellation typicity in its powerful black fruits, but measured with a saline kick on the finish. In organic conversion, to be certified 2025.

    The 2023 La Dame de Montrose has a light and slightly tertiary nose, with touches of tea leaves infusing the black fruit. The palate is soft and supple on the entry, with licorice-tinged black fruit and a rounded, cracked-black-pepper-tinged finish. There’s good body for a Deuxième Vin. This will give a decade of drinking pleasure.
