17 Rene Gabriel
Extrem dichtes Purpur mit viel rubinem und lila Schimmer. Zeigt in der Nase eine volle Kirschenladung, ein Hauch Dörraprikosen und Dammasinepflaumen, wirkt sehr süss und auch erstaunlich konzentriert. Im Gaumen stoffig, warmes, süsses Extrakt, frisch gehackte Granatapfelkerne, Himbeerdrops, Red Currant im fast drogenhaft fruchtigen Finale. beginnen (2013 - 2023)
90 Robert Parker
A sexy blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, the robust 2007 Monbousquet displays lots of toasty oak intermixed with sweet kirsch, blacker fruits, and spice box. Plush, medium to full-bodied, and supple textured, it is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.

Dark berry, sweet tobacco and spice aromas lead to a full body, with lots of fruit and soft, velvety tannins. Not a big midpalate, but plenty there. Best after 2011. 5,835 cases made. –JS
Producer
Château Monbousquet
Flying under the radar for several decades, Château Monbousquet has seen a great renaissance starting in 1993, when current owners Chantal and Gérard Perse acquired the estate. Situated in the southeastern portion of Saint-Émilion, upon mostly gravelly soils, the Perses completely restructured the vineyard and cellars, adding top-of-the-line equipment, as well as a new aging cellar in favor of producing great wines. Gérard, a visionary and self-made vintner, was the first to plant white vines in the appellation, and in 2006, his developments in quality led to the château’s promoted ranking to Grand Cru Classé status. Today, the property produces some of the most liked and gratifying wines - a modern, ripe and bold style of Saint-Émilion. The skilled consulting oenologist, Michel Rolland uses late-harvested fruit and malolactic fermentation in barrel that shows in each of their three wines. Two red wines are produced, the exotic Grand Vin Monbousquet Grand Cru Classé, and the second wine Angélique de Monbousquet, as well as a white wine Monbousquet Blanc.
