Château Montrose "La Dame de Montrose" 2019 (75cl)

Château Montrose was planted in 1815 by Théodore Dumoulin on a hill above the Gironde. Its name recalls the pink heather that grew there before. Less than forty years later the estate was included as a second grand cru in the 1855 classification. After the Dumoulin family came owners including Dollfus and the Charmolüe family, who held the château until 2006. A new chapter then began with Martin and Olivier Bouygues, with Charlotte Bouygues also closely involved in management alongside director Pierre Graffeuille. The vineyard lies on gravel terraces facing the estuary, with subsoil that helps regulate water.
