Château Montrose – Deuxième Cru Class*

HISTORY:

Château Montrose began as a plot of heather-covered land that was bequeathed to Théodore Dumoulin by his father Etienne. The land was originally part of the Calon-Ségur estate that Etienne acquired in 1778. By 1820, Théodore had constructed a small château and vine plantings were already underway. Eventually the area was split from the greater Calon-Ségur estate and was renamed as Montrose-Ségur. By 1855 it had expanded to 50 hectares and was known simply as Montrose. At this point it was also classified as a deuxième cru (Second Growth).
