ONE OF THE TOP WINES OF THE VINTAGE !
Château Montrose, the revelation of a unique terroir
Château Montrose, the revelation of a unique terroir
Martin and Olivier Bouygues acquired Château Montrose in 2006. Like ambassadors, they seek to reveal, accompany, and respect this unique terroir, spanning over 90 hectares in one contiguous plot, ideally located on the banks of the Gironde estuary. 2022 marks the beginning of a new chapter for the estate. Pierre Graffeuille, former CEO of Domaines Delon, is appointed as the General Manager of SCDM Domaines de la Familles Bouygues and continues the development of the properties managed over the past decade by Hervé Berland.
Montrose's style is unique. It is chiselled and elegant, sappy and radiant, with an exceptional aging potential.
The 2024 vintage: Return to the origins of the terroir
“Marked by the oceanic influence, the 2024 vintage is shaped by the challenges of the climate, polished by commitment, responsiveness and expertise. Heading towards the archipelago of the Terraces, where Montrose unveils all its nuances...T4, the wave breaks endlessly, carried by the delicate texture of the tannins."
Charlotte Bouygues, Chairman.
The 2024 vintage, influenced by the Atlantic climate, experienced mild temperatures and exceptional rainfall. In response to the excess water, several viticultural adjustments were made: controlled cover crops, high pruning to promote evapotranspiration, and early leaf removal to improve aeration. The intense sanitary pressure required constant vigilance and quick reactions, with each intervention covering the 95 hectares in less than two weeks.
The summer, drier at Montrose, allowed for leaf removal on the west-facing slopes to promote uniform berry ripening. Terraces 3 and 4 effectively regulated water supply, contributing to excellent phenolic maturity.
Despite the rain in September, the harvest was swift and precise: 102 harvesters completed the work in 11 days, with the grapes in excellent sanitary condition. For the first time, a second sorting line was added in the winery to keep pace with the harvest.
Tasting notes:
Château Montrose 2024 finds its ultimate expression in Terrace No. 4, its original terroir. It stands out for its exceptional energy and great complexity. The nose blends blackberry, blond tobacco, and graphite. On the palate, the approach is brooding. The wine reveals a round, silky, and sculpted texture, with impressive depth. The tannins, powerful and precise, shape a structure of great elegance, with a finish that stretches endlessly, like a wave carried by the delicate texture of the tannins.
