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, June 2010

Although still youthful, I do not think the 2000 Monbousquet will develop much more complexity. It is a seductive, rich, generously endowed effort revealing plenty of spice box, herb, black currant, kirsch, espresso, and toasty oak characteristics in a decidedly modern, but opulent, fleshy style. Enjoy this endearing, long, velvety-textured St.-Emilion over the next decade.

Bright ruby-red. Roasted currant and black cherry scents complicated by sexy oak. At once chewy and silky in the mouth, with complex, fresh flavors of plum, redcurrant, vanilla, coffee, smoky oak and woodsy underbrush. Finishes sweet and long, with thoroughly ripe tannins.

Big and juicy, with a slightly barnyard character. This shows loads of fruit, with dark chocolate and berry. Meaty, rustic finish. Slightly too rustic to be outstanding. Best after 2006. 6,665 cases made. –JS

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.
