Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

“The 2017 Montrose reveals impressively extravagant aromas of black cherries, warm cassis and baked plums with hints of red currant jelly, dark chocolate, liquorice, cardamom and charcoal as well as a gentle touch of candied violets. On the palate it shows a fantastic intensity with a very elegant, moderate body, with super ripe, fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness to create a stunning array of gorgeous black fruits and finishes very long and refined. This is an incredibly noble, balanced and sophisticated Montrose! ”

Château Montrose

Over two centuries, three owner families have shaped the history of Château Montrose. With passion and a tireless pursuit of the best possible quality, they have created many legendary vintages.

In 2006, the third generation of the Charmolüe family sold the winery to Martin and Olivier Bouygues. Both loved the wines of Château Montrose, they were aware of the potential of the site and the unique terroir. Under their leadership, the spectacular reconstruction of Montrose began.

The production buildings were renovated over seven years. Today they use 50 percent less energy than before the renovation. Today, the winery's cross-generational team is led by Melissa Bouygues and Hervé Berland. Château Montrose owns 95 hectares of vineyards in one piece around the château.

There are no bad vintages at this chateau. If the grapes do not meet the requirements, the yield is reduced without compromise and less is produced.
