A nose of sweet and delicately confected fruit characterises the 2023 Monbrison, showing a core of toasted berries with an overlay of caramelisation. The palate presents a light and rather juicy substance, although it carries a rather dry and simple style of fruit, laced with toast, old desks, driftwood and white pepper. It finishes dry and rather old-school, with a leafy edge to the fruit. For those who prefer their Margaux on the more herbaceous side. Rating: 86-88 Chris Kissack, www.thewinedoctor.com (Apr 2024)
Fresh, crunchy-fruit character here, with red and dark berries and floral nuances. Some citrus peel, too. It’s medium-bodied with lively tannins that are polished and firm. Bright and juicy finish. Rating: 91-92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2024)
Château Monbrison
Château Monbrison is in the commune of Arsac, a near neighbour of Château du Tertre. Robert Davis, an American, bought the estate in 1921 when he married into a local family.
Owning a Bordeaux estate was not always an easy thing at a time of World Wars and Depression, and Monbrison’s vineyards were pulled up in 1939. Fortunately, Robert’s daughter Elizabeth had the foresight to replant the vineyards in 1963, initially selling the produce to Château Prieuré-Lichine but from the mid-1970’s producing wines of Château Monbrison in their own right. Today the estate is owned and run by Robert Davis’s grandson Laurent Vonderheyden.
Vineyards are planted with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot.
