A lush, modern, style, with hyperdrive on the blueberry, loganberry and boysenberry fruit flavors. Nothing gets too heady though, as there's charcoal-studded grip, smoldering coffee grinds and roasted bay leaf notes all in the background for definition and further development with cellaring. Modern, yes, but firmly grounded in its terroir. Best from 2016 through 2035. –JM

60 % Merlot, 30 % Cabernet Franc, 10 % Cabernet Sauvignon. 28hl/ha. Extrem sattes, dichtes Purpur mit lila Schimmer. Würzige Nase, Speculatiusgebäck, Amarenakirschen und Arabica-Kaffeenoten, Rosenduft dahinter zeigend. Trotz der hohen Säure ist der Gaumen schon recht samtig, Waldhimbeeren und rote Grütze, fast überfruchtig und sehr konzentriert. Der bisher beste Monbousquet! warten (2016 - 2028)

Bottle unfined and unfiltered, it exhibits notes of Christmas fruitcake, black raspberry, cedar wood and spice box and has a full-bodied, fleshy, succulent mouthfeel, sweet tannin and decent acidity along with the tell-tale purity that always seems to emerge from the Perse estates. This wine should drink beautifully for at least 12-15 or more years.
The 2010 is a brilliant effort from this estate, which occupies 80 acres on the so-called “wrong side” of the road dividing the appellation of St.-Emilion in two. Yields were a modest 33 hectoliters per hectare and the wine is a blend of 70% Merlot and the rest mostly Cabernet Franc with some Cabernet Sauvignon.
