01: Sehr tiefes Purpur mit scharlachblutroten Reflexen. Extrem reife Beerennase (Amarenakirschen), Kaffee: rahmig buttrige Textur. Satter, fester Gaumen, die Frucht ist auch hier sehr reif, gibt aber dem Extrakt eine verführerische, unbändige Süsse, im Finale Erdbeermark, Schokonote, viel Druck. Wächst wie immer fast über die Appellationsmöglichkeiten hinaus. 18/20 2005 – 2017

Although still youthful, I do not think the 2000 Monbousquet will develop much more complexity. It is a seductive, rich, generously endowed effort revealing plenty of spice box, herb, black currant, kirsch, espresso, and toasty oak characteristics in a decidedly modern, but opulent, fleshy style. Enjoy this endearing, long, velvety-textured St.-Emilion over the next decade.

Big and juicy, with a slightly barnyard character. This shows loads of fruit, with dark chocolate and berry. Meaty, rustic finish. Slightly too rustic to be outstanding. Best after 2006. 6,665 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.
