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。
Drink Date
2021 - 2045
Tasted at the château, the 2011 Montrose is a blend of 63% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot picked between 2-27 September. The nose does not possess the exuberance of the 2008, a little conservative and lacking personality by comparison. It does repay aeration though and after some time, there are attractive cold stone/limestone notes that begin to emerge. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, grippy tannin. It is a solid Montrose, quite stout, perhaps not the greatest fun you will ever have with a Claret, yet with admirable depth on the lightly spiced, cedar-infused finish. Whilst I prefer the 2008 Montrose, the 2011 is a decent off-vintage that should offer 20 years of drinking pleasure. Tasted September 2016.
