Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Château Monbousquet 1990
The Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Château Monbousquet 1990 is a red wine produced by Château Monbousquet in France. Bottled directly at the estate under the direction of Daniel Querre, this wine carries the "Mis en Bouteille au Château" designation. It is presented in a 750 ml bottle with an alcohol content of 12.5%.
The wine originates from Bordeaux, a historic region along the Atlantic coast that has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages. Specifically, it comes from the right bank of the Gironde estuary, within the independent Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation. This area spans 5,400 hectares across eight communes surrounding the medieval town of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999. The 1990 vintage from this area is highly regarded, earning a score of 97 points and noted for its great ripeness and balance.
While the left bank of Bordeaux is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, the right bank is the traditional domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the wines are primarily based on Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and a smaller share of Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines are cultivated on a diverse terroir consisting of limestone plateaus, clay-limestone slopes, gravel, and sandy soils. The appellation enforces strict production rules, including lower maximum yields of 40 hectoliters per hectare, higher minimum alcohol requirements, and a mandatory aging period of at least 20 months compared to standard Saint-Émilion wines.
