From tiny yields due to the frost, the 2022 Château Monbousquet is based on 70% Merlot and 15% Each of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This ripe, medium to full-bodied, voluptuously styled beauty offers classic richness in its cassis and black cherry fruits as well as notes of chocolate, espresso, and leafy herbs. Beautifully balanced and concentrated, with velvety tannins, it's shockingly good. - Jeb Dunnuck

The 2022 Monbousquet is gorgeous. Rich, deep and explosive, the 2022 offers up an exotic mélange of sumptuous red/purplish fruit, lavender, mint and rose petal. Curvy and sumptuous, with striking fruit purity, Monbousquet is super-impressive in this tasting. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous

A rich wine with lots of tannins that are very fine and velvety, with deep fruit. Full and flavorful. Slightly salty and irony. Remains fresh and minerally. Some white pepper. Lead pencil. - James Suckling

The 2022 Monbousquet is made up of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon with a pH of 3.83. Yields were 30 hl/ha. Deep garnet-purple in color, it shoots out of the glass with bold scents of blackberry preserves, plum pudding, and licorice, plus hints of Indian spices and fragrant soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is chock full of bright, vibrant black fruits, framed by ripe, grainy tannins and plenty of freshness, finishing long and spicy. - r.Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Independent

 Ripe and expressive nose, full and fruity, open and aromatically quite forward with clearly concentrated fruit. Quite lean on the palate though, some tension and potency in the flavours - dark blackcurrant and exotic spices with fresh mint that gives a cooling touch. Still a bit tight and a touch dry with fruit losing a bit of vibrancy quite quickly. Appealing precision, and has charm, but lacks some easy generosity. Ageing 28 years, 50% new oak, 50% one year barrels. Total acidity 3.25, 3.83pH. HVE3 certified. 30th vintage for Monbousquet. Harvest started on the 15th September. - Georgina Hindle, Decanter
