Château Monbousquet的歷史可以追溯至1540年，當時酒莊屬於François de Lescours，但相關的資料有限。
1993年，Chantal 和 Gérard Perse 的到來，為酒莊揭開新一頁。他們給這個歷史悠久、位於Saint-Emilion向南山坡僅500米外的風土一個躍進的黃金機會。
短短十數年之後，Monbousquet在2006年獲升級為Grand Cru Classé，著名的酒評家 Robert Parker 亦宣稱，「Château Monbousquet在Gérard Perse的帶領之下，成就顯著。目前它可能是Saint-Emilion（即使不是整個波爾多）最具風韻和感性的葡萄酒。」

深石榴紅和紫色的2015 Monbousquet，散發出黑櫻桃碎、桑葚和黑醋栗的香氣，並帶有薰衣草、丁香、花椒和玫瑰的味道。酒體中等至飽滿，口感細膩。美妙、優雅，深度令人印象深刻。餘韻悠長，帶有黑莓的果香，以及泥土淡淡的芬芳。
According to current research, Château Monbousquet’s origins date back to 1540. At this time the estate belonged to a gentleman named François de Lescours, about whom the archives tell us little.
In 1993 Chantal and Gérard Perse came to Monbousquet to begin a new chapter in the château’s story, ushering in a veritable “leap in quality”. A golden opportunity for this great terroir so rich in history, situated just 500 meters from Saint-Emilion’s southern slopes.
In 2006 Monbousquet was promoted to the rank of a Grand Cru Classé. In just a few years under the direction of its new owner, this growth which has always been well-respected among Saint-Emilion’s great wines has become one of the appellation’s stars, leading Robert Parker to declare: “Château Monbousquet under Gérard Perse’s guidance is exceptional. Right now this growth is probably the most exotic and most sensual wine in Saint-Emilion, if not in all of Bordeaux.”

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 93 points)
The deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Monbousquet simply sings with notes of crushed black cherries, mulberries and cassis with touches of lavender, cloves, Sichuan pepper and roses. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is finely textured with wonderful elegance and impressive depth, offering up perfumed black berry layers and a long finish that whispers fragrant earth suggestions.
