Chateau Monbousquet 2023

Professionele reviews

James Suckling (94)

94-95: The freshness is very present, together with richness and minerality, black fruits and black olives. Hint of salt, too. Medium to full body with layers of ripe tannins and a juicy finish. Well done. Lightly salty.

Vinous (92)

91-93: The 2023 Monbousquet is packed with blue/purplish fruit, spice, lavender, mocha and gravel notes. The 2023 is an especially serious Monbousquet with bright acids and vibrant tannins that lend notable energy throughout. This is another fine showing from the Perse family.

Jeb Dunnuck (93)

92-94: The 2023 Château Monbousquet is another deep, rich, voluptuous wine from this team. Rocking levels of ripe red and black fruits, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and subtle spicy notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, supple, layered mouthfeel and a great finish.

Falstaff (94)

Deep dark ruby, opaque core, purple reflections, delicate edge brightening. Ripe, dark berry fruit, sweet plum, a hint of nougat, delicate dried fruit nuances, fine notes of oak are in the background. Complex, juicy, elegant, black cherry, vivid, integrated tannins, mineral on the finish, good persistence, a full-bodied food companion, salty aftertaste, good certain ageing potential.
