Château Montrose is one of the most respected second-growth Bordeaux wine estates. The winery in the Saint-Estèphe appellation has produced intensely tannic and powerful red wines for almost two centuries. Château Montrose isn't just cruising on its reputation. It has had a 100-point vintage in three consecutive decades from wine critic Robert Parker (1980s, 1990s, 2000s).

Imagine that you have to choose the perfect spot for a vineyard. A place that faces a large body of water would be ideal. That way, vines receive a moderating influence during scorching summers and frigid winters. Well-draining, gravelly soil would help, too. That would ensure natural drainage and a gradual ripening process. Not only does Château Montrose enjoy these benefits, but its vineyard stretches across a single sweep, a “rare and priceless advantage,” according to Wine.com.

These immaculate conditions combined with Château Montrose’s reverence for terroir have earned the estate 21 ratings of 98 or higher. That includes the celebrated 2020 vintage. Loaded with black and blue fruits, graphite, tobacco, spice, and a hint of campfire smoke, this weighty Bordeaux blend exudes class and austerity. With a built-to-age structure, patient investors will discover why critics have compared 2020 Château Montrose to the legendary vintages of 1986, 2010, and 2016.  

The Final Sip: Immaculate terroir. Excellent weather. World-class winemaking. They all aligned to make 2020 Château Montrose the complete package.
