Variant

Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

Very deep garnet-purple in colour, it needs a good amount of air to release the vibrant scents of crushed blackberries, preserved plums and cassis with hints of star anise, cedar, undergrowth, Indian spices and iron ore, as well as a glimpse of violet. On the palate it is full-bodied, with beautifully ripe tannins providing a rock-solid backbone, with plenty of freshness lifting the taut, muscular fruit, and finishes long and minerally.

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.
