Producer Profile

Chateau Montrose

An air of quiet confidence has exuded Chateau Montrose in recent years, ever since Martin and Olivier Bouygues bought the 1855 Second Growth estate back in 2006, and began investing heavily in environmentally-sound practices that have made it a leading force in high-quality, sustainable viticulture. Their convincing of former Haut-Brion director Jean-Bernard Delmas to join them in their quest hasn’t exactly hurt them either.

Located on the eastern side of Saint Estèphe, set on a ridge with a large part of the vines sloping down towards the river Garonne, this estate has seen a rapid expansion in recent years. Today it stands at 96 hectares (one of its most recent acquisitions was 20 hectares of vines from the nearby Chateau Phelan-Segur, from a plot adjacent to the estate’s own vines, and which was part of Montrose until the 19th century). Overall, the vineyard is planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Merlot, 6% Cabernet farnc and 2% Petit Verdot, at a density of 9000 vines per hectare.

The Bouygues background in manufacturing and construction has certainly come into play. Since building works were completed in 2010, Montrose is now self-sufficient in energy, with over 3000m2 of solar panels, and a full water recycling system. ‘At Montrose, we are lucky to have a water source below the chateau that remains constant all year at around 14 degrees – meaning that it can be used in the cellar to cool things down in the summer, and warm things up in winter,’ says Delmas. ‘It avoids the over-use of thermo-regulation, and can also convert to energy, to store it up for use when needed.’

Against all this innovation, the wines of Montrose have maintained the hallmarks of a true Saint Estèphe – with the structure and power of the appellation, but a freshness and elegance that speaks of the high emphasis accorded to tradition. The second wine is Dame de Montrose.
