Wine-growing terroir

Château Montrose is located in the heart of the town of Saint-Estèphe. The vineyard, 95 ha in one piece, which is extremely rare in Médoc, was planted on a very well exposed gravelly ridge on the banks of the Gironde; it therefore overlooks the estuary. The soils are composed of gravel, black sand and the subsoils of marl-clay.

Winemaking

Vatting for 20 to 25 days in thermoregulated stainless steel vats, aging for approximately 22 months in oak barrels, 60% of which is new wood.
