Description

The 1964 vintage in Bordeaux yielded a very large volume of wine similar in quantity to 1962 but not of the same overall quality. While there was exceptional summer weather,the middle of October experienced localized, torrential downpours that lasted for two weeks. Many estates, particularly in Pauillac and Saint-Estephe, had not completed their harvests so they went on to produce inconsistent wines.However,Chateau Montrose excelled in this vintage and produced according to David Peppercorn, “probably the best St Estephe” in a vintage that at its best made “wines of great class”.


"The 1964 Montrose was one of only a handful of Medocs harvested prior to the rains, so the wine exhibits unexpected depth,richness, and vigor. Richer and more intense than the 1966,with a far darker, more opaque color, this huge,old-style,ripe wine offers a substantial mouthful of rich,unctuous claret. Amazingly,it still tastes less than a decade old. It is a great success for the vintage, and may prove to be the longest-lived wine of the Medoc. An extraordinary success! Anticipated maturity: 2000-2020. Last tasted, 6/97."
(92 Points).

Robert Parker. (The Wine Advocate. January 1998).


"A beautiful fading red hue, with hardly a touch of tawniness to it. The nose is dominated by a beautiful combination of rich, fruit gum raspberry fruit with attractive,sweet oak,a truly enticing and elegant bouquet. The palate has lovely texture,with more sweet,clean fruit. Absolutely correct acidity,and gentle tannins,mean this wine is drinking beautifully right now. The finish retains that silky texture,and there is a pleasant length. The September rains in Bordeaux in 1964 ruined many wines,but Château Montrose, who finished picking just before the rains began,have crafted a superb wine here".
(17.5/20 Points).


Chris Kissack. (Winedoctor.October 2000).


The most recent tasting note on 1964 Montrose on Cellartracker:-

"Happily a good bottle. Pretty dark, bright red, no bricking. Fully integrated nose, still a little fruit, spices. Taste in complete harmony with the smell. Still life there, it kept it up in the glass. Old Bordeaux as it should be. Perhaps not the most profound wine, but a joy to drink".

Cellartracker. (1/10/2017).
