Château Montrose produces three red wines: its eponymous grand vin, a second wine named La Dame de Montrose and a third, more modestly priced wine named Tertio de Montrose. The 1970 vintage was placed third among the ten California and French red wines at the historic Paris Wine Tasting of 1976, which was won by the Americans.

Montrose wines tend to be deeply tannic and during excellent vintages can take up to 20 years to mature.[1]

The 1990, 2009 and 2010 vintages were rated 100 points by Robert M. Parker, Jr.[2]
