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，這要歸功於它葡萄園中深厚的礫石層，得以生產出非常高水準的Cabernet Sauvignon。2006是新東家Martin Bouygues接手後的第一個年份，在原有的紮實風格中，增添了幾許細膩和甜美。
WA: 86 Drink: 2016-2025
Tasted at the Montrose vertical in Stamford, the 1971 Montrose, which was picked between 25 September and 12 October, has always been a wine that performed decently enough and so it proved here. It has a lovely bouquet with dark berries, stewed black tea, dried herbs and pencil box, even a sprig of wild mint with aeration. The palate does not quite match the aromatics. The tannin seem to be drying out a little, rending this 1971 more masculine than I recall, denuded of the weight it once sported on the finish. Still, there is a pleasant salty tang on the finish and well-stored bottles should continue to give modest drinking pleasure over the next few years. Tasted May 2016.
