Bottled directly at the estate under the direction of Daniel Querre, this wine carries the \"Mis en Bouteille au Château\" designation. It is presented in a 750 ml bottle with an alcohol content of 12.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Bordeaux, a historic region along the Atlantic coast that has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages. Specifically, it comes from the right bank of the Gironde estuary, within the independent Saint-Émilion Grand Cru appellation. This area spans 5,400 hectares across eight communes surrounding the medieval town of Saint-Émilion, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1999. The 1990 vintage from this area is highly regarded, earning a score of 97 points and noted for its great ripeness and balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile the left bank of Bordeaux is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, the right bank is the traditional domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. In Saint-Émilion Grand Cru, the wines are primarily based on Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and a smaller share of Cabernet Sauvignon. The vines are cultivated on a diverse terroir consisting of limestone plateaus, clay-limestone slopes, gravel, and sandy soils. The appellation enforces strict production rules, including lower maximum yields of 40 hectoliters per hectare, higher minimum alcohol requirements, and a mandatory aging period of at least 20 months compared to standard Saint-Émilion wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Monbousquet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57244568420678,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-968_18393353-f406-4039-803f-bdcff935858f.jpg?v=1788356781","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/saint-emilion-grand-cru-chateau-monbousquet-1990","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
