Owned by Gérard Perse. 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Gris, 5% Muscadelle, 5% Sémillon. Not barrel fermented but aged in a mix of 50% new and 50% used barrels. Bâtonnage. Exotic and salty and sweet. Quite rich. Not refreshing. But smoky and big and beefy. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2018-2021

The Monbousquet 2016 Blanc is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Gris and 5% each of Muscadelle and Sémillon. It has a crisp bouquet with fresh lime and passion fruit aromas, nicely detailed with good vigor. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a little waxiness to the texture from the Sauvignon Gris with a straightforward dried pineapple-tinged finish. Fine.
