Chateau Montrose向來被視為St.-Estephe村最頂尖的酒莊，甚至有人稱它為「St.-Estephe村的Chateau Latour」；雖然它的葡萄園是1815年才開發出來的，但是其優異的葡萄園風土條件，讓它迅速地大放異彩，在1855年的分級中就被列為二級酒莊，並且一直穩居本村最頂尖的酒莊王位。
雖然本酒莊的名稱Montrose是「玫瑰山」的意思，但是它的酒並不是細膩柔美路線，而是以結構紮實嚴謹、酒質深沈複雜耐久藏著稱，這要歸功於它非常接近河流的葡萄園，以及園中深厚的礫石層，得以生產出非常高水準的Cabernet Sauvignon。2006年份開始新東家Martin Bouygues接手，在原有的紮實風格中，增添了幾許細膩和甜美。

2022 - 2060
Composed of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and a 1% splash of Petit Verdot, the 2017 Montrose wine was run off into 60% new and 40% one-year old barrels where it was aged for 18 months. The grand vin represented 37% of the estate’s total production. Deep garnet-purple in color, the nose takes some time to unfurl before revealing an impressively flamboyant core of black cherry preserves, warm cassis and baked plums with hints of red currant jelly, dark chocolate, licorice, cardamom and chargrill plus a gentle waft of candied violets. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has fantastic intensity with a very elegant, modest weight, featuring super-ripe, finely-grained tannins and tons of freshness to lift and show-off a stunning array of gorgeous black fruit and fragrant sparks, finishing very long and refined. This is an incredibly classy, poised and sophisticated Montrose!
