Montrose's 2013s are among the most successful wines of the vintage. Merlot was especially challenged here because of poor weather during flowering, which caused considerable coulure and millerandage. As a result the Grand Vin has the highest percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon since 1996, a theme readers will see at many estates on the left bank. The Merlots were brought in starting on September 26, while the Cabernets followed beginning on October 7. According to CEO Hervé Berland, the goal was to extract as gently as possible. Fermentations were done at slightly lower temperatures than normal and were also shorter. Readers who are familiar with Montrose know the vineyards border the Gironde. One has to wonder if the proximity to ventilation was a huge help in combatting the outbreak of rot that was widespread in the days leading up to the harvest. Overall, yields are down about 25% across the board.
