To celebrate the bicentenary of Château Montrose, the Bouygues family is releasing an exceptional, custom-designed box, in a limited edition of 200 copies.

It contains three numbered bottles in a unique 200cl format: Château Montrose 2014, Château Montrose 2016 and the 2015 bicentennial - the estate was founded in 1815. The prestigious case is handcrafted and is like a "cabinet of curiosities": it offers many opportunities to share convivial moments around tastings, reading and games.

In addition to the unique box, it also contains a 15 liter bottle of Château Montrose 2015 and an extremely old MONTROSE COGNAC RESERVE

Château Montrose is one of the most prestigious Médoc chateaus. Especially since the wealthy brothers Martin and Olivier Bouygues bought the chateau in 2006 and started a rigorous 'makeover'. They tackled absolutely everything from vineyard to cellar. The team is also being strengthened, including with Hervé Berland, who says goodbye to his position as director at Château Mouton-Rothschild to lead this ambitious project. Quality has skyrocketed ever since and the last few vintages Château Montrose has consistently been among the very best wines in Bordeaux; a great achievement! Part of the major quality improvement is a 'parcelic' approach, in which the vineyard is divided into small pieces, each of which is assessed, vinified and raised separately. The selection options have increased enormously as a result. Such that, in addition to a first and second wine, a third wine has also seen the light.

Chateau Montrose makes powerful wines that have a long life ahead of them. Although very tannic, the elegance and especially intensity is memorable. This one of the very best St. Estèphe wines has the 2nd Grand Cru Class status but could easily compete in the highest 1st Cru class. Since the 1989 harvest, followed by a 100-point score by Robert Parker in 1990, Montrose has earned a worldwide reputation and ranks among the greatest Bordeaux.
