Description

A rare find. 1961 needs no introductions and to find one in this fine condition and from such a prestigious chateau is a rarity.

This bottle is a "Justerini & Brooks" bottling.
Many, many chateaux were, up to fairly recent times, bottled either by Bordeaux négociants or by overseas importers who had been doing this since the middle ages from barrels shipped to London and elsewhere. Many négociants owned the chateaux and wine was moved to the Bordeaux entrepôts for ageing in barrels. Indeed many non-châteaux bottled versions were superior to the châteaux efforts who considered themselves to be growers rather than bottlers. J & B were at the forefront of fine bottling in Britain. This practice died out in the early '70s - Pontet Canet was the last to be 100% Bordeaux bottled by Cruze, the owners.

This bottle, recovered from under a fine Dorset house features a level at 'base of neck', good complete labels and an unspoilt capsule.

Unusually for me I have put a reserve on this bottle, which is still well under offerings from around the world.

"The 1961 Montrose is still in need of another 10 years of cellaring. The deep, opaque dark ruby color,the huge bouquet of ripe cassis fruit and mineral scents, the full- bodied, dense, compelling richness and length, and gobs of tannin all point to a monumental bottle of wine for drinking during the first 20-30 years of the next century. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2030"
