Chateau Montrose - Milwaukee Only

Part One of Super Seconds and their Seconds (and thirds)

“Fashions come and go. Yet Montrose has always been Montrose… one of the most consistent, steadfast and trustworthy in Bordeaux.”

Chateau Montrose, lauded as “a jewel within the northern Medoc” by Wine Spectator, proudly ranks among Bordeaux's top estates, arguably reigning supreme in the Saint-Estephe region. Initially designated a "second growth" in Bordeaux's renowned 1855 classification, this property has surged ahead, crafting wines that rival the illustrious "first growths." Montrose has earned its well-deserved title of "super second" for consistently delivering exceptional quality wines that offer remarkable value in the Bordeaux landscape. Since 2009, Chateau Montrose has received a remarkable nine perfect 100-point scores from respected critics worldwide. As Wine Spectator aptly notes, "Montrose has been consistently producing its finest reds over the past two decades."

This "super second" consistently performs at a level on par with established first growths but remains accessible to collectors and connoisseurs at a fraction of the cost. For those seeking a harmonious blend of price and quality, Chateau Montrose is the definitive choice.

This wine tasting examines Chateau Montrose at a decade old, just peaking into its early maturity. But not only that, we bring forth its second wine, and its commune wine, all to explore the full power of Montrose. 

Tasting fee is $100, credited towards a Chateau Montrose purchase (no cash value).
