Château Montrose

Where environmental stewardship meets Second Growth excellence, Château Montrose commands 95 contiguous hectares of Saint-Estèphe's most privileged terroir, crafting investment-grade Bordeaux that defines Left Bank power and precision. This Grand Cru Classé estate transforms deep Gironde gravel into wines of legendary structure and longevity.

Founded in 1815, Château Montrose has evolved into Bordeaux's most innovative environmental pioneer while honoring two centuries of winemaking tradition. Under winemaker Hervé Berland's meticulous direction, the estate combines cutting-edge sustainable practices with time-honored techniques, creating a philosophy where respect for terroir drives every decision. The single-block vineyard's proximity to the Gironde estuary provides natural temperature moderation, while the estate's commitment to biodiversity and soil health sets new standards for luxury wine production.

Montrose's flagship Grand Vin represents the pinnacle of Saint-Estèphe expression, with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot achieving remarkable concentration through the estate's gravelly croupes and clay subsoils. The second wine, La Dame de Montrose, offers earlier accessibility while maintaining the property's signature intensity. Berland's winemaking emphasizes precise extraction and extended aging, producing collectible wines that consistently earn critical acclaim and command premium prices at auction. Limited annual production ensures exclusivity, with allocation-only availability for the most sought-after vintages.
