The Estate / Distillery
One of the most venerable vineyards in Bordeaux, if not in the world, is the origin of this remarkable story. Situated in the prestigious Saint-Estèphe appellation, Château Montrose's history dates back to 1815 when visionary founders established this exceptional estate. Encompassing 95 hectares of prime terroir, the vineyard benefits from a unique combination of gravel and clay soils that contribute to the distinctive character of its wines.
The estate's commitment to excellence was further cemented when the Bouygues brothers, Martin and Olivier, acquired Château Montrose in 2006. Their vision was to harness the potential of the extraordinary terroir, employing traditional French expertise alongside modern innovations. This included meticulous vineyard management, sustainable practices, and the construction of a state-of-the-art winery.
Château Montrose produces wines renowned for their depth, structure, and remarkable ageing potential. The flagship wine, Château Montrose, epitomises the elegance and complexity of Saint-Estèphe, consistently receiving high accolades from critics and connoisseurs alike. The 2009 vintage, awarded 100 points by Robert Parker, is a testament to the estate's dedication to quality and excellence.
Under the stewardship of Hervé Berland, the current estate director, Château Montrose continues to uphold its storied legacy. The team, driven by a passion for winemaking and a respect for tradition, ensures that each vintage reflects the unique identity of the terroir, making Château Montrose one of the most iconic names in Bordeaux.
