| Classification | Cru Bourgeois Supérieur |
Dark red. Lovely aromas of fresh blackcurrant, minty blackberry, coffee, iron and violet. Bright and lively in the mouth, with nicely integrated acidity lifting the dark berry, iron and soil-inflected spice flavors. Finishes with dusty, firm tannins and very good length. Rating: 87-89 Ian d'Agata - Stephen Tanzer website (May 2014)

The fruit feels ripe the nose has depth of flavour the palate starts sweet. Firm tannins give structure a backbone but at the back cassis and black cherry give more depth with some sweetness on the finish. 2018-28 Rating: 87-90 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (May 2014)
Rating: 89 Tim Atkin MW, www.timatkin.com (May 2014)
Pretty classy nose, nice lift and oak detail. Fruit is lush but the finish disappointingly dry and raw. A game of two halves, having said this I bet that it will just about work out and I don’t say that very often. Rating: 15.5 Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com (Apr 2014)
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.
