Established as a Second Growth in the 1855 classification, Château Montrose enjoys an exceptional geographical and geological situation in Saint-Estèphe, facing the Gironde estuary. Its 235-acre vineyard thus benefits from the moderating influence of the vast water mass nearby during very hot summers and frosty springs. The vineyard is in a single sweep, a rare and priceless asset in the region, while its terroir, made up of deep gravels, ensures natural drainage and moderates Mother Nature’s excesses.

An extensive renovation programme with very strict environmental objectives has been carried out at the estate since it was acquired by Martin and Olivier Bouygues in 2006, reflecting the new owners’ determination to perpetuate the quality of the wine and make Château Montrose a model of skilled winemaking and sustainable development.

One philosophy guides the whole team: a great respect for the terroir and a constant quest for excellence. That philosophy is manifested in meticulous vineyard practices, very precise parcel selection and a selective work on blends.
