about this wine:

"Monbousquet is a blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes are fermented in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks and the wine is then aged in 100% new oak barrels for 18 months. Monbousquet is bottled unfined and unfiltered...Mature open nose of mulberries and wet straw. A little dry on the palate with mature tannins. Well-structured with fine chewy black fruits. Quite spicy on the finish..."

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 1997

It is no secret to anyone following the Bordeaux wine scene that Monbousquet, with its new young, passionate proprietor, is pushing the envelop of quality. As a result, recent vintages have produced the finest wines I have ever tasted from this estate. Yields for 1993 were just over two tons an acre, and in 1994 and 1995, well under two tons an acre. In addition to trying to emulate the great success enjoyed by such St.-Emilion chateaux as Angelus, Troplong-Mondot, and Valandraud, Monbousquet is being bottled with no fining or filtration. Opaque purple-colored, with a tight but promising nose of cherry jam, blackcurrants, smoked herbs, and grilled meats, this dense, chewy, medium to full-bodied wine exhibits the vintage's tough tannin. However, this 1994 possesses enough fruit, glycerin, and extract to counterbalance the wine's structure. It will need 2-3 years of cellaring, yet promises to keep for 15 years.

About Winery

Gerard Perse's acquisition of Monbousquet in 1993 has led to great things for this estate.  It is located 500 meters south of Saint-Emilion and dates back to 1540. Up until the arrival of Perse, the estate produced a very creditable wine which ranked in the middle range of Saint-Emilions's fine wines. Now, aster several years of ownership, it has become one of the appellation's leading wines.  Robert Parker commented, "Every vintage of Monbousquet produced by Gerard Perse is outstanding.  At the moment, it is probably the most exotic and sensual wine in Saint-Emilion, if not all Bordeaux.
