Score 90-92/100 · Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025

Based on 65% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and the balance Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2024 Château Monbousquet showed well, with a dense purple and plum hue as well as juicy darker cherries, blackberries, spicy wood, and chocolate. It's medium-bodied, has an elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and solid length.

Deep garnet-purple colored. Strolls out with classic notes of fresh plums, blackberries, and pencil shavings, plus hints of Sichuan pepper and wild sage. The medium-bodied palate delivers bright blackberry flavors with fine-grained tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing on a peppery note.

The 2024 Monbousquet opens with lovely upfront fruit. Blue/purplish berries, mocha, chocolate, licorice and spice are front and center. In 2024, Monbousquet is not as naturally exuberant or fleshy as it is in most years, but its racy, inviting personality is very much present. Soft, silky contours add to its undeniable charm.
