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。

Tasted at the Montrose vertical in Stamford, the 1975 Montrose was served from magnum. The wine was picked between 25 September and 6 October under fine but intermittently stormy conditions. It offers an elegant bouquet with a floral bent, well defined, right but focused with black cherries and cranberry infused with loamy scents. The palate has a little chewiness on the entry, nicely balanced and precise (within the context of winemaking in this period), fresh and composed towards the finish that gives off a touch of volatility. That said, this magnum was far superior to the 1976 and suggests that at least in larger formats, this 1975 will continue to give drinking pleasure.
