Château Monbousquet Saint Emilion 2000
 |
|
BN#126936 |
Owned by the quality-driven Gérard Perse, this Grand Cru estate is planted to 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon with an average age of vines at close to 45 years. Parker considers the wines of Monbousquet to be real 'showstoppers', and 'one of the appellation's most flamboyant and seductive Clarets.'
Wine Advocate
From an unheralded terroir, this Monbousquet was made from extremely low yields of 28-30 hectoliters per hectare. Aged sur lie and bottled unfined and unfiltered, it exemplifies proprietor Perse's enormous efforts. Black and blue to the rim, this wine represents the essence of this terroir. Its saturated black/purple color is accompanied by extraordinary aromatics of sweet blackberries, chocolate, coffee, incense, new saddle leather, and vanilla. Remarkable intensity, lively acidity, and abundant tannin provide definition and grip. This is the most intense, muscular, and "biggest" Monbousquet made to date, and that is saying something considering the 1998 and 1999! So be prepared, it is remarkable wine. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2018.
Score: 95.
