Château Montrose

Château Montrose is a winery in the Saint-Estèphe appellation of the Bordeaux region of France.

The vineyard is in Saint-Estèphe, the northernmost of the great Médoc communes.

The soil in Montrose's 168 acres (0.68 km2) consists of gravel and black sand with a subsoil of clay and marl.

Château Montrose produces three red wines: its eponymous grand vin, a second wine named La Dame de Montrose and a third, more modestly priced wine named Tertio de Montrose.

Montrose wines tend to be deeply tannic and during excellent vintages can take up to 20 years to mature.
