2015 Monbousquet Rouge 75CL

Château Monbousquet is located in the commune of St. Sulplice de Faleyrens in the south-east part of the Saint-Emilion. For years Monbousquet was a notorious underachiever, whose wines were soft, dilute and generally uninspiring. The catalyst for change came when the property was bought by Parisian supermarket tycoon Gérard Perse in 1993. Gérard, who now owns Château Pavie and Château Pavie-Decesse, severely restricted the yields, constructed a state of the art cuvier and hired the ubiquitous Michel Rolland as a consultant. His efforts were soon recognized and in 2006 Monbousquet was promoted to the rank of a Grand Cru Classé. Monbousquet's wines are now amongst the finest in Saint-Emilion.
