Chateau Monbousquet 2021

A rich and aromatic Saint-Emilion wine

The estate

Situated to the southwest of the village of Saint-Emilion, Chateau Monbousquet is a Grand Cru Classe whose 34-hectare vineyard presents a large mosaic of terroirs.

The vineyard

This Saint-Emilion wine is made from vines that are 27 years old on average and rest on sandy, sandy-clay and sandy-gravel soils with iron ore between 60 and 80 cm deep.

Vinification and aging

The hand-picked grapes are rigorously sorted before being vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. Malolactic fermentation is carried out in barrels, as is the aging process (50% new barrels and 50% second-fill barrels).

The blend

Chateau Monbousquet 2021 comprises a blend of Merlot (70%), Cabernet Franc (15%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (15%).
