95 Pts Wine Spectator	#16 WS Wine of the Year 2018 "A rich, expressive, slightly showy style, with waves of cassis, creamed raspberry and boysenberry fruit racing forth, backed by a polished yet ample structure. The long, licorice- and ganache-framed finish packs on weight as it moves along, yet stays defined and pure. Impressive. Best from 2032 through 2040"

95 Pts James Suckling - Jamessuckling.com	"A rich and round wine with beautiful fruit and chocolate, meat and berry character. Full body and a juicy finish. Hard not to drink now as itâs so delicious. But wait. Drink in 2020 onwards."

93 Pts Antonio Galloni - Vinous	"The 2015 Monbousquet is dark and powerful from the outset. Rich, layered and voluptuous in feel, it captures all the radiance of the vintage. Black cherry, plum, espresso, licorice and chocolate all flesh out in the glass. Sumptuous, racy and intense, the 2015 has a lot to offer. In this vintage, the two wines from the property are relatively close in style. I prefer to drink Monbousquet on the earlier side."
93 Pts Lisa Perrotti-Brown - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate	"Blended of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and aged in French oak, 70% new, the deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Monbousquet simply sings even at this youthful stage with notes of crushed black cherries, mulberries and cassis with touches of lavender, cloves, Sichuan pepper and roses. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is finely textured with wonderful elegance and impressive depth, offering up perfumed black berry layers and a long finish that whispers fragrant earth suggestions."

Description:

"ChÃ¢teau Monbousquetâs origins date back to 1540. At this time the estate belonged to a gentleman named FranÃ§ois de Lescours, about whom the archives tell us little. The following century, in 1682, Monbousquet became the property of Henri de GÃ¨res, and two years later he gave the estate a pleasant residence situated some 500 meters from the Saint-Emilion hill. Over the following centuries a long succession of owners left their mark on the property.

In 1750 Jean de GÃ¨res inherited the vineyard, then was succeeded by Jean-Jacques de GÃ¨res, who in turn left it to his daughter, Jeanne; she wed FranÃ§ois de Carles, whose family settled in the Bordeaux region from their native Lorraine in the 14th century.

Under the guidance of the illustrious de Carles family, between 1682 and 1826 the domain enjoyed a long period of improvements during which Monbousquet developed a remarkable heritage and history. In 1779, General de Carles, the son of Jeanne and FranÃ§ois, inherited the property and built the main residence which dominates Monbousquet today. The vineyard was still rather small, but its production was renowned. The general married Marie-Rosalie Vacher in 1795, and in 1826 she ceded Monbousquet to her sister-in-law Marie Gabrielle Desaigues in exchange for one-half of ChÃ¢teau de Sale.

In 1835 the property was purchased by Pierre Saujon for 90,000 francs, and in 1855 he sold it on to Monsieur and Madame Lacombe for 200,000 francs. During the second half of the 19th century the estate prospered and achieved great fame under the brief (1858 to 1877) but inspired direction of the Comte de Vassal-Montviel. He enlarged the vineyard, bringing it to its present sizeâmaking it one of the largest estates around Saint-Emilion. All this and more earned the property great praise in the 1865 edition of âCocks and FÃ©retâ: âToday, 32 hectares of vinesâ¦cultivated with the greatest of care, make the vineyard of Monbousquet one of the most important in the Saint-Emilion region, producing a wine that is remarkable in its delicacy, its finesse, and its bouquet.â Monbousquet stood out among the wines of Saint-Emilion and became much sought after on the market. But in 1877, unable to repay his debts, the Comte de Vassal-Montviel put the property up for sale and it was acquired by Monsieur Bellanger. The 7th edition of âCocks and FÃ©retâ showed Monbousquet as a âCru Bourgeoisâ, and Monsieur Bellangerâs production stood at 75 tuns. Highly regarded throughout the 1800s, by the beginning of the 20th century Monbousquet had lost its renown and for several decades belonged to a succession of owners. It was not until the end of the Second World War and the arrival of the Querre family in 1945 that the estate began to recover its former reputation. Daniel Querre, master winemaker and Ånologist, dedicated 30 years of his life to rebuilding the vineyard, and his heirs continued his work until 1992. In 1993 Chantal and GÃ©rard Perse came to Monbousquet to begin a new chapter in the chÃ¢teauâs story, ushering in a veritable âleap in qualityâ. A golden opportunity for this great terroir so rich in history, situated just 500 meters from Saint-Emilionâs southern slopesâ¦

In the months after GÃ©rard Perseâs arrival, production standards at Monbousquet were completely revised both in the vineyard (entirely restructured and drained) and in the cellars, with state-of-the-art installations and the creation of an aging cellar suitable for producing a great wine. The residence was also completely renovated. A self-taught visionary, GÃ©rard Perse also planted the first white vines in Saint-Emilion. His efforts were soon recognized and in 2006 Monbousquet was promoted to the rank of a Grand Cru ClassÃ©.

In just a few years under the direction of its new owner, this growth which has always been well-respected among Saint-Emilionâs great wines has become one of the appellationâs stars, leading Robert Parker to declare: âChÃ¢teau Monbousquet under GÃ©rard Perseâs guidance is exceptional. Right now this growth is probably the most exotic and most sensual wine in Saint-Emilion, if not in all of Bordeaux.â -Winery
