Lisa Perrotti-Brown for Robert Parker

"Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 La Dame de Montrose jumps out of the glass with aromas of red currants, black cherries and black raspberries, followed by earthy/underwoody notes and hints of violets, dark chocolate and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied and firm, with plenty of mouth-coating juicy fruit, it has a velvety texture and a long, mineral finish. Very well done! "

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.
