Established as a Second Growth in the 1855 classification, Château Montrose enjoys prime location in Saint-Estèphe, facing the Gironde estuary. Its 235-acre vineyard is in a single, unbroken sweep, a rare and priceless advantage in the region, allowing the exceptional terroir of this parcel of the Saint-Estephe appellation to fully enrich the wines. They are deep and powerful, due to the dominance of Cabernet Sauvignon, but as they age over time, the wines develop a fine bouquet of rare complexity, softening into Bordeaux of remarkable structure and intensity, tempered by effortless finesse and elegance. The spectacular 2006 vintage has an ace up its sleeve. In a stroke of genius new owners, the Bouygues brothers managed to coax legendary Haut-Brion winemaker Jean-Bernard Delmas out of retirement to oversee the winemaking and modernize the estate's approach, adding a heaven-sent level of expertise. This "super second" consistently performs on par with established first growths but remains readily accessible to collectors and connoisseurs at a fraction of the cost. For the Goldilocks blend of price and quality, Chateau Montrose is the definitive choice. Act Fast!
