Tasting Notes

The 2016 Monbousquet Blanc has an attractive bouquet of Golden Delicious apple, beeswax and touches of pressed flowers. The palate is well balanced and quite saline in the mouth, with crisp acidity and a brisk, slightly chalky finish. White peach lingers on the aftertaste. Enjoy this over the next five years.

Score: 89

The Monbousquet 2016 Blanc is a blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Gris and 5% each of Muscadelle and Sémillon. It has a crisp bouquet with fresh lime and passion fruit aromas, nicely detailed with good vigor. The palate is well balanced with fine acidity, a little waxiness to the texture from the Sauvignon Gris with a straightforward dried pineapple-tinged finish. Fine.

Score: 87 - 89

A juicy and round white already with dried pinepple and honey. Hints of pears. Full and flavorful.
