Château Monbousquet Saint Émilion Grand Cru 2022
Vintage Character
Château Monbousquet Saint Émilion Grand Cru 2022 expresses the concentration of a markedly hot, dry Bordeaux year. Heatwaves recurred from mid-June into September, while rainfall during the main ripening months stayed below average. Relatively fresh summer nights provided a counterpoint to the daytime heat. At Monbousquet, the harvest yielded a concentrated Merlot-led blend, balanced by equal contributions from Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. The estate's varied sandy, gravelly and clay-bearing soils give the blend several complementary components. Its combination of ample fruit, substantial texture and rounded tannins captures the generous side of 2022 without making richness the wine's only feature.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Blackberry and blueberry aromas are joined by darker currant, chocolate and a restrained roasted-coffee accent. The palate is full-bodied and layered, with an enveloping texture and smooth, ripe tannins. Dark fruit remains central through a generous finish, where toasted and savoury nuances add depth. Roast rib of beef, lamb shoulder with rosemary, or a mushroom and lentil casserole would make useful partners: each has enough substance for the wine, while the savoury elements give its abundant fruit something to play against.
Winery Background
Monbousquet entered a new phase when Chantal and Gérard Perse acquired the property in 1993 and invested in its vineyards and cellars. The estate lies south of Saint-Émilion, with notably varied soils rather than one uniform geological profile. Vineyard work is adapted to individual plots, including thinning and leaf removal, and the grapes are picked and sorted by hand. For this vintage, fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless steel, followed by malolactic fermentation in barrels. Maturation combined equal proportions of new and once-used oak, shaping a polished, expansive wine while retaining a clear core of fruit.
