Wine Spectator
"A lush, modern, style, with hyperdrive on the blueberry, loganberry and boysenberry fruit flavors. Nothing gets too heady though, as there's charcoal-studded grip, smoldering coffee grinds and roasted bay leaf notes all in the background for definition and further development with cellaring. Modern, yes, but firmly grounded in its terroir. Best from 2016 through 2035."

"Great nose of spices, dried herbs, chocolate and coffee. Very intense nose. Full-bodied, with fabulous tannins and finesse. This is layered and rich yet very harmonious. Best Monbusquet ever. Try after 2018."

"Bottle unfined and unfiltered, it exhibits notes of Christmas fruitcake, black raspberry, cedar wood and spice box and has a full-bodied, fleshy, succulent mouthfeel, sweet tannin and decent acidity along with the tell-tale purity that always seems to emerge from the Perse estates. This wine should drink beautifully for at least 12-15 or more years.
The 2010 is a brilliant effort from this estate, which occupies 80 acres on the so-called “wrong side” of the road dividing the appellation of St.-Emilion in two. Yields were a modest 33 hectoliters per hectare and the wine is a blend of 70% Merlot and the rest mostly Cabernet Franc with some Cabernet Sauvignon."
"32 hectares with greatly diverse terroirs. Sandy and sandy-clay soil with ironpan at a depth of 60-80 m. Sandy-gravel and sandy-clay soil. Pruned to six spur s, green har vesting, leaf thinning, picking and sorting by hand. The old fermentation cellar was recently rebuilt and now houses temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. A new ageing cellar was also built. 18-24 months in new oak barrels with racking every 3 months. The final blending is done just before bottling, and the wine is neither fined nor filtered." -Winery
