Chateau Montrose – Monumental Bordeaux:

The St Estephe Second Growth Estate of Chateau Montrose is a phenomenal wine currently on a tremendous run of form.

This Bordeaux estate can trace its history back to the 18th century and was included in the 1855 Bordeaux classifications. Interestingly, the estate gets its name not from a person, but from the pink heather that once grew on this hill. The French words “mont rose” translating to “pink mountain”.

The Grand Vin is monumental, highly collectable and immensely age-worthy. For those looking for a window into the house style in a more easy-drinking and approachable style, the second wine, La Dame de Montrose, is a superb option. In the best vintages, it can rival many classed growths in quality.

Classically-Structured, Brooding & Age-Worthy:

Montrose is located in St Estephe, the most northern of the communes of the Medoc. The soils are deep gravel and sand with a subsoil of clay and marl. Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the blend at around 65%, with Merlot around 25% and the balance Merlot.

Thanks to its terroir, Chateau Montrose is typically a brooding, muscular and imposing wine. Powerful and structured tannins and densely concentrated fruit mean that it can be impenetrable and closed when young. However, a decade or two of bottle age works wonders with Montrose. Time reveals a wine of classicism, complexity and nuance.

Like many estates in Bordeaux, serious inward investment in recent years has paid huge dividends. The estate is now crafting some of the most consistently excellent wines in its history. New vintages are often highly oversubscribed on release.

Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes

Antonio Galloni 95-97

The 2025 Montrose is a very quiet, sophisticated Montrose. Silky tannins, lifted aromatics and mid-weight structure are the signatures. Time in the glass brings out lovely red-toned fruit character, along with hints of spice, blood orange, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco. It will be interesting to see how the 2025 develops with elevage. Today, it is a bit on the lighter side relative to the norm here. Some of that may be attributable to winemaking. [Antonio Galloni, 31/05/2026]

Anticipated maturity: 2035-2065

Neal Martin 98-100

The 2025 Montrose only comes from the Terrace IV, as has been the way since the 2023 vintage. It was picked from August 29 and finished not until September 20, so quite a long harvest, 16 days of picking between those dates. This vintage is matured in 60% new oak. This has another very intense nose with a potent graphite element that infuses the black fruit, beautifully defined but unapologetically classical in style. Wow. The purity of fruit is exceptional. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, very chiselled tannins, exquisite black fruit loaded with mineralite. So much freshness and vibrancy, gentle but insistent grip, very precise and refined on the finish, this is a Montrose that will rank as one for the ages. Wow (again). [Neal Martin, 31/05/2026]

77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc. Now 100% from the Terrace No. 4 vineyards. Cask sample.Already quite expressive. Pure and fragrant with blackcurrant, graphite and cedar notes. Lovely silky texture on attack, a touch of mid-palate sweetness then ripe, punchy, gravely tannins on the finish. Lots of freshness and length. Very St-Estephe. (JL) [14/04/2026]

Anticipated maturity: 2035-2060
