Six-wine dinner with Bordeaux second growth Château Montrose – Tuesday 25th November
If any Bordeaux château has been making waves over the last 15 years, it is surely Château Montrose. The St-Estèphe second growth, set on a gravelly knoll close to the Gironde estuary, was always renowned for producing some of the longest-lived wines in the Médoc. But under the ownership of the Bouygues family, it has reached new heights, now acclaimed for crafting wines of charm and elegance as well as structure and power.
Founded in 1815 and achieving 2ème Cru Classé status in the 1855 classification, Montrose joined the extensive business portfolio of Martin and Olivier Bouygues in 2006. Since then, a committed new duo has been leading the estates: Charlotte Bouygues, President of the Eutopia Estates group, and Pierre Graffeuille, Managing Director. Together, they are implementing an ambitious winegrowing approach aimed at producing terroir-driven wines with a commitment to sustainable excellence.
Today, with the refinements complete and a fresh, young team in place, Montrose is firing on all cylinders, and fully living up to its vaunted status. We are delighted, then, to welcome Romain Bellone, Deputy Commercial Director, to the Club to talk us through the next stage of the evolution over a three-course, six-wine paired dinner, with wines going back to the landmark vintage of 2000.
