Vinous

The Angelique de Monbousquet, the second wine of Monbousquet, is quite supple and expressive in the glass, with lovely depth to the mocha, spice and plum flavors. Silky tannins give the open-knit finish considerable appeal. The overall flavor profile is a bit darker than in the Grand Vin, with less overall refinement. Then again, this is why second wines exist. The blend is 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
