Second wines are a great value way to sample the quality and winemaking expertise of prestigious estates when their ‘Grands Vins’ prices are out of reach. They’re also huge favourites of our Bordeaux buyer Jean-Marc Sauboua. He's a fan of Cru Bourgeois estates too, because they have to earn this hallmark of quality every year. Both bases are covered by Bouquet de Monbrison, the second wine of Château Monbrison, a Cru Bourgeois in Margaux, located in the Arsac commune. The estate enjoyed perfect weather in 2015 – a vintage described as “superb” (Bloomberg). Bouquet de Monbrison is a charming Margaux, with seductive floral aromas, racy red fruit flavours and light, concentrated tannins. An ideal accompaniment to roast lamb or venison.
