The freshness is very present, together with richness and minerality, black fruits and black olives. Hint of salt, too. Medium to full body with layers of ripe tannins and a juicy finish. Well done. Lightly salty. - James Suckling

The 2023 Château Monbousquet is another deep, rich, voluptuous wine from this team. Rocking levels of ripe red and black fruits, smoked tobacco, chocolate, and subtle spicy notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, supple, layered mouthfeel and a great finish. - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2023 Monbousquet is packed with blue/purplish fruit, spice, lavender, mocha and gravel notes. The 2023 is an especially serious Monbousquet with bright acids and vibrant tannins that lend notable energy throughout. This is another fine showing from the Perse family.
