Product Description
Château Monbousquet is known for its well-crafted blends, consisting typically of 70% Merlot and an equal mix of Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine undergoes malolactic fermentation and ageing in barrels, with a combination of new and second-fill barrels used for the ageing process.
Tasting Notes
Vinous 89
The 2021 Monbousquet was picked from 29 September to 6 October and was the only property impacted by frost; therefore, they deselected the second generation buds at the end of August, so yields are just 18.55hL/ha. It has a clean, pure and perfumed bouquet with violet-infused black fruit, floral and more intense than many of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with a bit of hardness on the entry. Moderate depth, more compact than the aromatics suggest with a touch of black pepper towards the finish. This will need three or four years in bottle. 13.67% alcohol
