Rating and fair value
Monbousquet has been rated 93-94 by James Suckling who said it was, “linear and creamy with lovely, fine tannins” and it was scored 16+ by James Lawther MW for JancisRobinson.com.
A score equal to or better than the 2019 from Neal Martin will be needed to cement this release. The 2019 at a 20% discount looks to offer considerable value at present, while the 2014 and 2015 vintages are also well-positioned.
Jane Anson, meanwhile, rated the Monbousquet white that was also released a 92, saying it was “enjoyable” but “less weighty…than in certain vintages”.
