Chateau Montrose

Montrose is one of the two 2^nd Growth chateau in Saint-Estephe (the other is Cos d’Estournel). Long considered one of the best estates in Saint-Estephe, located in the eastern end of the commune directly north of the Marbuzet village, and with beautifully ventilated vineyards only 800m from the Gironde River. Construction company Bouygues acquired the estate in 2006 and have invested significantly in the vineyards – defining microclimates and suitability for grape varieties, and in building new cellars.

68 hectares of vineyards with south-east aspect and deep gravel and clay soils are planted with two thirds Cabernet Sauvignon, a little less than one third Merlot, and the remainder Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

Montrose is known today for its concentration, flesh and depth with a fine tannic structure that ensures most vintages will age for decades. This same balance and fruit concentration also makes Montrose accessible much earlier than other wines from the area.
