wine serving
How should this 2012 Château Montrose be served, and what is its optimal drinking window?
We recommend serving it at 16-18°C after decanting for 1-2 hours to allow its complex aromas to fully develop. This wine is still relatively young for a Montrose and will benefit from further cellaring, with an optimal drinking window from 2025 to 2045.
