The history of Château Montrose begins in 1815 when Étienne Théodore Dumoulin discovered a neglected plot of land belonging to his family. Convinced of the potential of this terroir, he decided to plant a vineyard there. This marked the beginning of a legend: 40 years later, the estate was distinguished as a Second Grand Cru in the prestigious 1855 classification. Since then, it has continued to rise to the top. Passing through various owners such as Mathieu Dollfus in 1866, then the Charmolüe family in 1896, to whom a large part of the beautiful evolution of the estate is owed, it was finally Martin and Olivier Bouygues who purchased the 95 hectares in 2006.Since then, they have embarked on a vast modernization project of the facilities, allowing this illustrious château to be part of the absolute elite of the Bordeaux region today. A significant portion of the vineyards is cultivated using Organic Farming, and the grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot make up the majority of the plantations, complemented by Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The vineyard is managed with absolute precision, allowing the Bouygues family to produce wines of incredible aromatic elegance vintage after vintage.
