The 2000 harvest was a rare bird in that it brought a similar high level of quality for both merlot and cabernet, noted regisseur Philippe de Laguarigue. "It makes us think of 1970," he added. "There less surmaturite in 2000 than in 1990, and the 2000 merlot is more complex than that of 1996." The pH is in the high 3.8-3.9 range, but acidity levels are actually higher than those of either '99 or '98, notes Laguarigue. The yield in 2000 was a moderate 41 hectoliters per hectare, down from 48 the previous year. Montrose's second wine, La Dame de Montrose, is frequently very good value.
