There are 7,000 cases of this 60% Merlot/30% Cabernet Franc/10% Cabernet Sauvignon blend from the home estate of Chantal and Gerard Perse Although this is not considered to be one of St-Emilion's finest terroirs, everything is done in an artisinal manner - including hand harvesting, hand sorting, a draconian selection in both the vineyard and the cellars, and Burgundy-like treatments of malolactic in barrel and aging sur-lie Monbousquet has been a stunning success ever since Perse took over the property Earlier vintages continue to suggest that this cuvee has far greater longevity than expected given the opulence and enormous fruit For example, the 1998 and 1999 remain infants in terms of development, and the 1995 is just coming into a pre-adolescent stage The 2005 (135% alcohol) possesses a saturated blue/purple color as well as a big, sweet nose of pain grille, roasted herbs, grilled meats, black cherry jam, blackberries, and spice Powerful, full-bodied, and dense yet elegant, deep, and layered, its pure fr

Rated 92 - The 1995 offers an opaque purple color, and a glorious nose of new oak, spice, and abundant black fruits. This full-bodied, super-extracted, multi-layered wine must be tasted to be believed - especially for readers who remember Monbousquet as the soft, innocuous, commercially-styled St.-Emilion it was for many decades. It still requires 4-5 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2022. Robert Parker - Chateau Monbousquet St. Emilion Grand Cru 1995 750ml France Bordeaux St. Emilion -

The Winery: The origins of Chateau Monbousquet go back to 1540. It is Located 500 meters south of Saint Emilion. Since the acquisition by Gerard Perse in 1993 it has become one of the appelation's leading wines. Situated in an exceptional terroir of mixed deep gravel and sandy-gravelly soil. This explain the large proportion of Cabernet on the estate such as 20% of Cabernet Franc and 10 % of Cabernet Sauvignon. Chateau Monbousquet is also well known for its rare white wine made from Sauvignon blanc...

Bellevue has only been making terrific wine since 2000, which probably explains why they were not upgraded to a grand cru classe in St.-Emilion's most recent reclassification. This small (15.5 acres), south-facing hillside vineyard has such outstanding neighbors as Angelus and both Beausejours. Additionally, it boasted Nicolas Thienpont and Stephane Derenoncourt as managers, who represent uncompromising viticulture and winemaking at its best. The winemaking team is likely to change as the estate...

From a mixture of sand, gravel, and clay soils, this unheralded terroir produces wines well-above its pedigree thanks to the extraordinary efforts of proprietors Chantal and Gerard Perse The wines are given a 4- to 5-week maceration in both stainless steel and oak, and are aged sur-lie in new oak The dark ruby/purple-colored 2003 offers up notes of smoky meats, melted licorice, jammy black cherries, spice box, earth, and cedar This plump, fleshy, sexy, unfined, unfiltered wine represents a classic blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon Yields were 32 hectoliters per hectare, and the alcohol is 135% Anticipated maturity: now-2016 Wine French Still Wine

The 1988 has everything the 1989 possesses, in addition to definition, structure, and greater depth and concentration. This splendidly perfumed wine offers up a veritable smorgasbord of aromas, ranging from smoky, toasty, new oak, to jammy black currants and Asian spices. In the mouth, it is full bodied, seductively round, and expansively flavored, with a luscious and velvety, long, heady finish. This is a gorgeously made, rich, wonderfully pure, highly extracted wine that should drink well for the...

This powerful, tannic, dense blue/purple-hued St.-Emilion will handsomely repay those with patience. It offers up a tight but promising nose of smoke, meats, creosote, black currants, blueberries, and cold, wet steel. A masculine, stern effort with a certain austerity, abundant tannin, and superb depth, purity, and richness, it should be at its peak between 2015-2025.
