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。
The 2022 Montrose is such a compelling wine that assigning it a bracketed score seems a mere formality. A brilliant terroir, impeccable viticulture, perfectly timed harvest dates and judicious extraction have aligned to deliver a monument in the making, reminiscent of a far purer, more precise, modern-day version of the 1990 vintage at this address. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cassis, violets, iris, pencil lead and cigar wrapper, it's full-bodied, deep and authoritative, its velvety attack segueing into a layered, elegantly muscular core that's framed by supple, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, resonant finish. A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot, this only confirms Montrose's status as a de facto first growth and unquestionably one of the contemporary Médoc's very greatest estates.
