The Estate

Château Montrose is a prestigious wine estate located in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of Bordeaux, France. Classified as a Second Growth (Deuxième Cru) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification, it is often considered to perform at a First Growth level. The estate has a rich history dating back to the 18th century and has been owned by Martin and Olivier Bouygues since 2006. Montrose is renowned for producing powerful, long-lived wines primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. The château has gained particular acclaim for its consistent quality and its pioneering efforts in sustainable viticulture.

Second Growth's Golden Year

A mild spring followed by intense summer heat defined Montrose in 1989, with harvest under optimal September conditions. The estate's deep gravel soils produced profound dark fruits with leather and crushed stone notes. The wine displays remarkable power and depth, embodying Saint-Estèphe's muscular character.

Late Rains Test Selection

September rains challenged the vintage, but Montrose's exceptional drainage and late-ripening plateau allowed extended hang time. The estate's rigorous selection and old vines proved crucial during the difficult harvest. The wine shows classic Saint-Estèphe power with cassis, iron, and tobacco notes supported by firm tannins.

Maritime Winds Guard Freshness

The estate's deep clay-gravel soils and elevated plateau provided perfect drainage during late summer rains. October's north winds and maritime influence dried the vineyards, allowing extended hang time for complete ripeness. The wine shows Montrose's characteristic power with black fruit precision and Saint-Estèphe's mineral core marking this classical vintage.
