The estate

Owned by the Martin and Olivier Bouygues brothers since 2006, the Château Montrose is an emblematic reference of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. This Second Cru Classé in 1855 watches over one of the most beautiful terroirs in the Médoc. In the past as today, Château Montrose has distinguished itself for the quality of its wines, its style and its distinction which make the estate an essential and world-renowned domain.

The vineyard

A reference among the great wines of Saint-Estèphe, Château Montrose watches over a 95-hectare vineyard located in an exceptional location considered one of the greatest terroirs in the Bordeaux region.

Located not far from the Gironde estuary, the Château Montrose vineyard is planted on gravel terraces mixed with sand on the surface while the subsoil is clayey in nature.
