Drop of the Day: 2022 Château Montrose 

Château Montrose is a relative baby in St. Estèphe, with production only beginning in 1815. Yet, by 1855, the wine was already so good that it was given Second Growth status in the famous classification. Together with the "elite cores" (a geological term for the complex layering of Montrose's terroir) of the soil, and the estate's faultless history, Château Montrose is worth considering. Add the careful management of owners Martin and Olivier Bouygues to this mix, and you have a recipe for excellence. 

After the purchase of the estate in 2006, the Bouygues brothers invested a massive €55 million in renovations, hiring key personnel (including the directors of Mouton Rothschild and Haut Brion) and making environmentally conscious upgrades. Evidence of the renovation can be seen in the perfect 100-point 2009 vintage, a vintage which was named by auction house Christie's as one of the "Five best Bordeaux vintages to own and collect." The vineyard has been producing exceptional wine ever since, although it has yet to equal the heights of 2009.
