Château Monbousquet St Emilion Grand Cru Grand Cru Classé 2021
Goes long on raspberry and loganberry fruits, touches of floral aromatics, this has a brightness to it, and attractive acidity and spice, more austere than in many vintages of Monbousquet, with less weight thorugh the mid palate, which is a plus for me in a wine I often find too heavy. 50% new oak. Last year for technical director Raphael Maurin (who was only here for two vintages), now Laurent Lussau in charge, harvest 29 September to October 6, small yield of 18.55hl/h.
