Chateau Montrose Saint Estephe 2014

2. Cru Classé Castle Château Montrose poses, alongside cos d'Estournel, the absolute 1st division of the appellation Saint-Estéphe. Château Montrose is always a very powerful and concentrated experience. A wine often adored by wine critics around the world, often referred to as Latour from Saint-Estèphe. Château Montrose is a stable wine that never disappoints, and the wine has in recent years become quite obvious investment wine, providing a safe and stable return, if at all you could even get your hands on the wine in the "a primeur" trade. It is a sought-after matter.

The castle can take its history back to the end of the 1700s, when properties emerged as a separation from Château Calon-Ségur. For the first 100 years or so, the castle was owned by the Dumoulin family. In 1855 the family succeeded in having the castle classified as 2. Cru, while Calon-Ségur had to settle for a classification as 3rd in 2014, he was the first to be in the 19th and 19th. Cru. Another 2 owners have been around Château Montrose in the period after. But today it is brothers Martin and Olivier Bouyges who own Montrose. They have made a fortune through their large construction business. And a small fortune was needed when they bought the castle in 2006.
