70 Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 Merlot, 10 Cabernet Franc | 40% new oak and 5% Amphora Dark and bloody with beetroot notes and spicy oak, this is a good effort, and it certainly shows its majority Cabernet theme with its black tones and cool, long finish. I feel that it will evolve slowly and end up being a rather nicely balanced wine. Rating: 16.5 Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com (Jun 2022)

Fresh-herb and berry character comes through clearly here. Medium body. Firm tannins. A little hard now. Rating: 90-91 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (May 2022)
Attractive juicy, bright blueberry and raspberry fruits, a little overshadowed by cloves and tar smoke that speaks clearly of intervention. 38hl/h yield on deep gravel soils. 30% new oak. Very spicy, good quality. Drinking range: 2022 - 2034 Rating: 87 Jane Anson, www.janeanson.com (May 2022)
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.
