    Château Monbousquet, St Emilion Grand Cru, 2023
    ABV:
    13%
    89/100
    Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux
    Bitter black chocolate on the opening beats, along with espresso and rosemary. There are juicy ruby fruits alongside, and estate signature. Gravelley soils with sandy and sandy clay, most impacted by the heat spikes of the vintage of all the Pavie wines this year, harvest september 13 to 23. 50% new oak, with the rest on one year.

    The 2023 Monbousquet is packed with blue/purplish fruit, spice, lavender, mocha and gravel notes. The 2023 is an especially serious Monbousquet with bright acids and vibrant tannins that lend notable energy throughout. This is another fine showing from the Perse family.

    Chateau Perse’s acquisition of Monbousquet in 1993 has led to great things for this estate. It is located 500 metres south of Saint-Emilion and dates back a long way. Up until the arrival of Gerard Perse, the estate had produced a very creditable wine which ranked middle of the range of Saint-Emilion’s fine wines. The vineyard area extends 32 hectares with the grape varieties of approximately 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
