Chateau Monbrison Cru Bourgeois

This is Margaux at its most hauntingly fragrant, led by perfumed violets and a core of plush blackcurrant. The structure is remarkably poised, offering fine-grained tannins that feel more like a caress than a grip. A subtle hint of cedar and graphite lingers on a finish that is as long as a summer twilight.

Ideal for The Architect

Your palate is a "friction-seeker." You have a very high threshold for tannins, meaning you don't feel dryness as "harsh" - you feel it as "satisfying grip." Without that structural skeleton, wine feels like juice to you. You also enjoy Retro nasal Bitterness - the savoury, dark notes found in espresso and cacao. You don't want the wine to disappear; you want it to leave a physical footprint on your tongue for 60+ seconds (Length).
