Purple flowers, black cherries, licorice, and cocoa create a showy nose. On the palate, the wine dark, lush, silky, and fresh. The fruits are ripe, creamy, and vibrant, with touches of spice, chalk and sweet, opulent black cherries. 2022 marks the 30th vintage of Monbousquet under the ownership of the Perse family. The wine blends 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.28% ABV, 3.83 pH. Yields were 30 hectoliters per hectare. Drink from 2025-2042. 92-94 Pts.

94 vvPunkte / (70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.28% Alkohol, pH 3.83) Unglaublich intensive Frucht, Brombeeren und Kirschen, auch Cassis, tiefgründig, mit mineralischen Untertönen. Im Gaumen dicht, konzentriert, ungmein knackige Frucht, ausgezeichnete Tanninqualität, der Gerbstoff ummantelt die Frucht wie ein Seidenhandschuh, der Wein wirkt trotz seiner Wucht, frisch und elegant. Sehr gute Länge, zeigt im Abgang Cabernet-Würze und florale Rückaromen. Ausgezeichnet gelungen und mit grossen Reserven. 2030-2055+ (Verkostet "En Primeur" im April 2023 auf Château Pavie) #primeurs22 www.vvWine.ch

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Plums, sweet spice, cream, slight plain chocolate, a sense of concentration, slight toasty notes. Medium plus intensity acidity with concentrated, to the point of savouriness, plums. Drying, chewy, slightly chalky tannins, fruit doesn't' really get past this. Hmm
