{"product_id":"chateau-montrose-la-dame-de-montrose-2016","title":"Château Montrose, La Dame De Montrose, 2016","description":"\u003cp\u003eLa Dame de Montrose is the second wine of the great Saint-Estèphe estate Château Montrose, and in 2016 it punches well above its station. The vintage was one of the finest in the Médoc in a generation — warm, dry, and perfectly timed — and even at this level you can feel the estate's characteristic weight and structure: that gravelly, iron-fisted grip softened by ripe, generous fruit. It is Cabernet Sauvignon-led, as you'd expect, with Merlot rounding out the mid-palate and giving it a suppleness that makes the 2016 more immediately inviting than many past iterations of this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe think this is a genuinely exciting buy: a wine that carries real Saint-Estèphe identity without the grand cru price tag, and one that is drinking beautifully now while still having the architecture to age gracefully. Decant it, give it an hour, and it will reward you generously. Serve alongside a slow-braised shoulder of lamb and feel no guilt whatsoever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Montrose","offers":[{"title":"DUTY PAID \/ 1 X75CL","offer_id":46003418628175,"sku":"MONT-DAME-16-6-75-DUTY PAID","price":43.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/9449\/1471\/files\/chateau-montrose-la-dame-de-montrose-750.jpg?v=1787149427","url":"https:\/\/gerrardseel.co.uk\/products\/chateau-montrose-la-dame-de-montrose-2016","provider":"Gerrard Seel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
