The 2019 Monbrison has an attractive bouquet with marine-tinged black fruit, flanked by pressed iris and incense aromas. I would have liked a bit more horsepower here, but it is well defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy and pliant tannins, quite spicy towards the finish that needs a bit more cohesion. Not bad, but not the best in show.

Extremely fine tannins here that melt into the wine, which leads you down to a palate of real density and polish. Really impressive. One of the best in years. Rating: 93-94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Jun 2020)
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.
