Château Montrose – the Legend of St-Estèphe – Tuesday 10th May

Château Montrose has historically been known as the “Latour of St-Estèphe”, renowned for its ability to produce some of the Médoc’s most classical, long-lasting, and revered wines. Today, it is equally known for spearheading the green revolution under the watchful eye of its CEO, Hervé Berland, who has also led a team dedicated to plot-by-plot precision viticulture.

Château Montrose is famous for producing some of the Médoc’s longest-lasting wines, and Members will be able to experience this themselves with a vertical of this renowned wine back to the 1976 vintage.

The  Château  had been owned by the Charmolüe family since 1896 until it was sold in 2006 to the Bouygues brothers. Under Martin Bouygues’ direction, Château Montrose underwent  a spectacular rehabilitation project, combining construction and renovation, traditional architecture and high-tech facilities, which was completed in time for the 2013 harvest.

The 94-hectare vineyard lies on a gravelly knoll only 800 metres from the Gironde, where the proximity of the estuary provides a unique microclimate, with the riverside breezes keeping the vines healthy.

It is a real privilege  to welcome  back Hervé Berland, CEO of Château Montrose  to the Club, to guide Members through 40 years of one of Bordeaux’s most sought-after wines.
