2019 Château Monbousquet Blanc

This château of Gerard Perse, owner of Chateau Pavie, is located in Saint Emilion, where white wine is not normally made. With this cuvée, Mr. Perse has proven that a great white wine can indeed be made in this region. The terroir is also extremely suitable for it, and consists mainly of graves. It is a small plot of 1ha that produces this high-quality, rare but beautiful wine.

The Monbousquet 2019 Blanc consists of 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 33% Sauvignon Gris. It is (again) a beautiful white wine with dried pear, lemon and a hint of mango. Full of flavor and slightly tannic with a creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Fruit-driven and clean with a beautiful acidity and with mineral/chalky elements and has a long, savory finish.
