  • What the experts say...

    (...) Le 1996 de Monbousquet s'impose comme une grande réussite. Plus tannique que le 1995, il exhale un nez exotique de kirsch, de cassis, d'herbes rôties, d'expresso et de moka. La bouche, qui montre une texture d'excellent aloi, impressionne par sa profondeur et par sa richesse, elle est nuancée de doux chêne grillé. La robe d'un rubis-pourpre foné soutenu laisse deviner un vin dense et la finale, aussi persistante que précise, se révèle modérément tannique. (...) Source: Robert Parker (1/99)

    Information about domain Château Monbousquet

    For many years Château Montbousquet was a commercial wine with no particular characteristics due to excessive yields. Since 1993 when the Perse family took over the property, numerous investments have been made, resulting in a marked improvement in the wine's quality.
