Château Monbousquet is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé located in the commune of Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens, on the Right Bank of Bordeaux. The 32-hectare estate in a single block lies on terroir of warm gravel and sandy-clay soils, planted to 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. Acquired in 1993 by Gérard Perse, the château underwent a radical transformation that led to its elevation to Grand Cru Classé status in 2006. Michel Rolland has provided oenological consultancy since the Perse family's arrival.

L'histoire du domaine

The known history of Château Monbousquet dates back to 1540, when the property belonged to François de Lescours. In 1682, the estate passed to Henri de Gères, who two years later built an elegant residence a few hundred metres from the slopes of Saint-Émilion. In the 18th century, the property came to the de Carles family, seigneurs of Château Figeac, who would hold it for nearly 150 years. It was in the 19th century that Comte de Vassal-Montviel truly transformed Monbousquet into a substantial wine estate, expanding the vineyard to 40 hectares. By 1945, the property had fallen into neglect when Daniel Querre acquired it and began a patient restoration of the vineyards and buildings, continued by his son Alain. In 1993, Gérard Perse and his wife Chantal purchased Monbousquet for $9 million — the first vineyard acquisition for this former Parisian supermarket owner. From his arrival, Perse undertook a complete renovation: full drainage of the vineyard, reconstruction of the winemaking facilities, creation of a modern barrel cellar. These efforts were swiftly rewarded: in 2006, Monbousquet was elevated to Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé status.

Le terroir

Château Monbousquet extends over 32 hectares in a single block in the commune of Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens, 500 metres south of the Saint-Émilion slopes. The estate's terroir displays remarkable geological heterogeneity: to the south, warm, deep gravel soils — in places reminiscent of Cheval Blanc or Figeac — allow optimal ripening of the Cabernets; to the north, sandy-clay soils with iron pan between 60 and 80 cm bring freshness and finesse. This diversity allows the vineyard, planted to 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, to express a complex aromatic range. The vines, with an average age of around 40 years, are planted at a density of 5,500 vines per hectare. From 1993, Gérard Perse had the entire vineyard analysed and drained to a depth of 2.4 metres to control the water table, then systematically replanted to optimise the match between each parcel and its grape varieties. The intentional pursuit of low yields — sometimes 28 hl/ha in great vintages — achieves exceptional concentration. The estate also produces a limited white wine from 1 hectare planted to Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Sémillon.

Les vins

The range of Château Monbousquet comprises three wines. The Grand Vin, Château Monbousquet Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé, a blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, expresses a powerful, opulent and fleshy style that Robert Parker described as "probably the most exotic and sensual Saint-Émilion, if not Bordeaux". Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and French oak tanks, with malolactic fermentation in barrel; ageing continues for 18 to 24 months in 50-70% new French oak barrels, with regular racking and final blending just before bottling. The second wine, Angélique de Monbousquet, named after Gérard Perse's daughter, offers a more accessible expression of the terroir. Finally, the estate produces a limited white cuvée, renamed Monbousquet Blanc d'Exception from the 2018 vintage, made from Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Sémillon, fermented in stainless steel then aged in barrels with measured new oak. Annual production is around 6,000 cases for the grand vin rouge, 350 cases for the white. Reference vintages include 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2015, 2010, 2009, 2005, 2000 and 1998.

Le vigneron

Gérard Perse, an emblematic figure in the Bordeaux wine world, passed away in July 2025 at the age of 75. Born in 1949 into a modest family in the Paris suburbs, this self-taught visionary had built with his wife Chantal a supermarket empire before turning to wine in the early 1990s. A passionate cyclist in his youth, he retained throughout his life that exceptional energy and determination that characterised his personality. When he acquired Monbousquet in 1993, he had no viticultural training, but an absolute conviction: that this terroir with its long history, located a few hundred metres from the southern slopes of Saint-Émilion, deserved to be raised to the highest level. With the assistance of oenologist Michel Rolland, he transformed an honourable estate into a globally recognised grand cru, leaving his mark not only on Monbousquet and Pavie, but also on wine tourism and gastronomy in Saint-Émilion. His daughter Angélique and son-in-law Henrique Da Costa are destined to carry forward the family legacy across all the Perse properties.
