Bordeaux | 4 | 94-97 (WS) | HK$4,570.00 | |||||
Wine Spectator (94-97)Lushly fruited, with creamy boysenberry and plum preserve flavors gliding through, this is going to be for the hedonist crowd. Extra anise and spice notes fill in, revealing steady grip through the finish. |

Jeb Dunnuck (92-94)Seemingly a perpetual smoking wine as well as a great value, the 2020 Château Monbousquet is no exception and has a deep, inky hue to go with pure, rich, powerful notes of smoky black fruits, chocolate, scorched earth, and subtle floral nuances. It’s a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, even tannic, yet pleasure-bent beauty I’d be thrilled to drink any time over the coming 15+ years. The blend is 70% Merlot and 15% each of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, and the alcohol is 14.6% with a pH of 3.75. |

Bordeaux | 2 | 91-92 (JS) | HK$3,750.00 | |||||
James Suckling (91-92)A good amount of blackberry and black olive with a medium body, firm tannins and a fresh finish. Balanced and rather delicate. |

Jeb Dunnuck (93)Smoky red and black fruits, spicy wood, tobacco, and incense notes emerge from the 2022 Château Monbrison, a classy, complete, medium to full-bodied Margaux. I love its overall balance, and it has plenty of mid-palate depth as well as polished tannins. Based on 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, aged 18 months in barrel, give it 3-5 years and enjoy over the following 15+. |

Bordeaux | 8 | 90 (VN (NM)) | HK$1,470.00 | |||||
Vinous - Neal Martin (90)The 2020 Mondot comes from the new parcels acquired by the estate of pure Merlot on limestone soils. Around 40% of the élevage was in tank. It has quite a fresh, precocious bouquet, with black plum and a touch of licorice, powerful and wanting to make an impression. The palate is medium-bodied with a soft texture, open and easygoing but with plenty of depth. The aging in tank plays a role here, rendering the finish pliant and accessible. Not long-term, yet quite delicious. |

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
