Montes, Muse - Do Valle Del Maipo 2021

MUSE, the new cuvée of the Montes Family

Unlike Montes’ other wines which are produced in the Apalta Valley, this 100% Cabernet-Sauvignon is made in Maipo. 2019 was the first vintage.

Muse is a tribute to all the women that have inspired the Montes family. It is an inspirational wine made for celebration. A wine with supreme elegance and subtle distinction.

The 2021 Vintage:

As experienced by almost all Chile’s winemaking regions, the Maipo area had a winter of low rainfall; any recorded bouts of rain were rather short, but intense. However, the volume of water accumulated over the season was sufficient for the vines to reach harvest. Montes Muse 2021 is balanced and very elegant, boasting medium body and well-balanced acidity. Silky tannins fill the mouth, leaving a fresh and lengthy finish.

Tasting notes

Montes Muse 2021 has an enticing, deep ruby-red colour. The nose has pronounced aromas of red fruit, such as cherry and ripe strawberry, cassis liqueur, dried plum, and liquorice. Additionally, notes of dulce de leche and tobacco, characteristic of ageing in French oak, beautifully complement the aromatic profile. On the palate, it is balanced and very elegant, boasting medium body and well-balanced acidity. Silky tannins fill the mouth, leaving a fresh and lengthy finish.

N°43 TOP 100 JS

The third release of this wine shows blackcurrants, mint, spearmint, iodine, graphite and mussel shells. Medium- to full-bodied with very integrated tannins that are fine and super polished and that go on for minutes. Reserved and focused with a silky texture. An upgrade to this wine with the addition of 2.5% cabernet franc and 2.5% petite verdot to the cabernet sauvignon. Drink after 2028 but impressive now.

Montes Muse (Valle del Maipo; 100% Cabernet Sauvignon; 14.5% alcohol). Candlewax. Cedar. Pen ink. Candied fruit. Angelica. Bubble gum. Black berry and black currant. Impressively compact and tightly structured by the Cabernet tannins. A little less strict and linear than Santa Rita, a touch more sinuous, though with a little more toastiness from the oak. Intense. Long. Serious. 96.

Vinous

byJoaquin Hidalgothe8/9/2024

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Muse is one of the most refined and delicate Cabernets from Maipo in this cold vintage. Sourced from Buin, it reaches a stylistic peak in this edition. Comprising 95% Cabernet, 2.5% Petit Verdot and 2.5% Cabernet Franc, it aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (70% new). This purplish wine unfolds enticing aromas of blackberry, cassis, cherry and ash, underscored by notes of licorice and cedar. Dry and faintly plush, with vibrant fine-grained tannins, the juicy flow and cushioned mouthfeel lead to a long and rewarding finish. This is a virtuous combination of technique and vintage.

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux

byJane Ansonthe7/1/2024

Rich and intense, with plenty of punch and character to its blackberry and damson fruits. This was a relatively wet vintage in Chile, but here you get a confident, sculpted wine that is laced with cocoa bean and liqourice root, giving plenty of Cabernet depth, clear long ageing potential with a cooling crushed mint leaf purity on the finish. 70% new oak for aging, Aurelio Montes del Campo winemaker.
