Robert PARKER - The Wine Advocate

(2-1997)
It is no secret to anyone following the Bordeaux wine scene that Monbousquet, with its new young, passionate proprietor, is pushing the envelop of quality. As a result, recent vintages have produced the finest wines I have ever tasted from this estate. Yields for 1993 were just over two tons an acre, and in 1994 and 1995, well under two tons an acre. In addition to trying to emulate the great success enjoyed by such St.-Emilion chateaux as Angelus, Troplong-Mondot, and Valandraud, Monbousquet is being bottled with no fining or filtration. Opaque purple-colored, with a tight but promising nose of cherry jam, blackcurrants, smoked herbs, and grilled meats, this dense, chewy, medium to full-bodied wine exhibits the vintage's tough tannin. However, this 1994 possesses enough fruit, glycerin, and extract to counterbalance the wine's structure.

Monbousquet

Monbousquet Chateau Grand Cru Classe Saint-Emilion. The first traces of Chateau Monbousquet are in the middle of the sixteenth century. The famous Bordeaux Carles family who owned the site from 1682 to 1826, brought much to the fame of this castle. The Count de Vassal-Montviel also leave a nice impression, between 1858 and 1977, this St.-Emilion grand cru. Monbousquet Castle was bought by Gérard Perse in 1993, five years before it acquires Chateau Pavie. Since then, Castle has undergone substantial Monbousquet work in the vineyard and in the winery. The method has been positive because Castle Monbousquet ever since a few years of flirting with the tops so this wine is a success. Chateau Monbousquet produces a white wine eponymous.
