An icon of Saint-Estèphe and awarded 3 stars by the RVF Guide (Revue du Vin de France, a prestigious French wine guide), Château Montrose solidifies its dominance with unmatched authority. The transformative vision brought by Martin Bouygues immediately elevated the estate, with the addition of a state-of-the-art winery and a top-tier team led by Hervé Berland, former director of Mouton-Rothschild.

The exceptional terroir quickly responded to these "Formula 1" adjustments, producing some of the finest wines in the estate’s history in recent years. The outstanding 2019 vintage, in particular, exceeded all expectations and was awarded 97/100 by Parker.
