Description

France / Bordeaux / Médoc / Saint-Estèphe

Over two centuries, three owner families shaped the history of Château Montrose. With passion and an unyielding pursuit of the best possible quality, they produced 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 location and the unique terroir. Under their leadership, the spectacular reconstruction of Montrose began. Today, the intergenerational team of the winery is led by Melissa Bouygues and Hervé Berland. The vineyards are managed sustainably, based on the principle that a good wine is made in the vineyard and not in the cellar.

Château Montrose

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

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

The production buildings were renovated over seven years. Today, they consume 50 percent less energy than before the renovation. The estate’s cross-generational team is now led by Melissa Bouygues and Hervé Berland. Château Montrose owns 95 hectares of contiguous vineyards around the château.

There are no bad vintages at this château. If the grape material does not meet its standards, yields are uncompromisingly reduced and less wine is produced.

Bordeaux

Origin in Focus

Bordeaux

Bordeaux is one of the world’s most renowned wine regions – a name that has stood for elegance, diversity and ageing potential for centuries. Gravel, clay and limestone soils alternate, allowing fine nuances in the wines that reflect both terroir and craftsmanship.

Bordeaux is typically known for blends in which grape varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc work together harmoniously.

Stylistically, red Bordeaux wines are defined by a balance of fruit, structure and freshness. The white wines – usually made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon and sometimes Muscadelle – range from crisp and citrus-driven to creamy and complex.
