Château Monbousquet 的歷史可以追溯至 1540 年，當時酒莊由 François de Lescours 所擁有。雖然早期的資料有限，但可見它早已紮根於 Saint-Émilion 的風土之中。
1993 年，Chantal 和 已故 Gérard Perse 的到來，為酒莊揭開新一頁。他們為這片距離 Saint-Émilion 南坡僅 500 米的優質風土，注入現代釀酒理念與無限潛力，開啟了 Monbousquet 的黃金時代。
短短十餘年間，Monbousquet 在 2006 年獲升級為 Grand Cru Classé，成就斐然。著名酒評家 Robert Parker 更讚譽道：「Château Monbousquet 在 Gérard Perse 的帶領之下，成就顯著。目前它可能是 Saint-Emilion，甚至整個波爾多最具風韻和感性的葡萄酒之一。」

(Robert Parker's rating: 91-93 points)
呈深紫黑色，濃郁的黑李、桑葚與酸櫻桃香氣奔放地從杯中躍出，散發出濃郁的黑李、桑葚與酸櫻桃香氣，並伴隨普羅旺斯乾香草、木炭與森林泥土的氣息。酒體中等至飽滿，層次分明的黑莓與紅莓風味在口中綻放，柔滑的單寧與恰到好處的清新感交織，餘韻帶有芬芳的泥土香，收結優雅。

酒體緊緻，線條流暢，展現黑莓、朱古力與雪松的風味。酒體中等至飽滿，結構清晰，風格奔放而細緻。現在已可飲用，但建議再陳放三至四年，風味將更臻成熟。

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: 91-93 points)
With a deep purple-black color, it prances out of the glass with showy scents of crushed black plums, mulberries and Morello cherries, plus touches of dried Provence herbs, charcoal and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers expressive black and red berry layers, framed by plush tannins and just enough freshness, finishing on a fragrant earth note.
(Drink Date: 2024 - 2040)
(James Suckling's rating: 95 points)
Very tight and linear with blackberries, chocolate and cedar. Medium- to full-bodied. Linear. Racy and pretty. Drinkable but better in three or four years.
