Château Monbousquet

Nestled on the right bank of the Dordogne river, in the heart of Saint-Émilion, lies the historic Château Monbousquet winery. Stretching over 32 hectares, this spectacular vineyard boasts a rich history that dates back to the 16th century. With its rolling hills, fertile soil, abundant sunshine, and vibrant microclimate, it is among the most regarded wineries in Bordeaux.

The vineyard, under the meticulous guidance of the talented winemaker, Gerard Perse, produces wines of supreme character and complexity. Château Monbousquet’s blend primarily includes Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. This impressive roster contributes to the creation of irresistible wines, known for their deep ruby colour, refined tannins, and remarkably well-structured palate.

One of the most unique characteristics of Château Monbousquet is their unrelenting attention to detail. From pruning and canopy thinning to hand-harvesting the grape clusters, every action serves a distinct purpose — maximum flavour, superior quality. The winery's pursuit of excellence extends to its state-of-the-art cellar. Here, new French oak barrels are utilised to age wines for up to 18 months, infusing them with a silky texture and complex aromas, while skillfully preserving the fruits’ natural vivacity.

When savouring a glass of Château Monbousquet’s red wine, one is revelled by its charm and opulence. The taste is a rich tapestry of black cherry, ripe plum, and a touch of earth, punctuated by gentle whispers of cedar and vanilla. The finish, long and lingering, leaves a compelling desire for another sip.

Though Château Monbousquet has seen multiple owners over the centuries, it has remained steadfast in its commitment to producing world-class wines, It's unsurprising then, that this distinct winery holds an unmatched place and enduring charm in the world of fine wine.
