Chateau Monbrison, Grand Vin de Margaux 

​Vintage 2017: grote uitdagingen, maar toch mooie wijnen: Quel terroir!
 
Na een milde winter vond de knopuitbarsting relatief vroeg plaats, rond half maart. Helaas daalden de temperaturen kort daarna en maakten ze plaats voor vorst op de wijngaarden van Bordeaux. Monbrison, bekend om zijn geweldige terroir, werd in de nacht van 27 april enigszins aangetast. De groeicyclus van de wijnstok was enigszins vertraagd, maar tussen 18 en 29 mei verliep de bloei erg goed.
 
De wijnstok is blijven groeien.. Inderdaad, op sommige percelen die door vorst waren aangetast, moesten wijnboeren meer van hun tijd geven om ​​nauwkeurig werk in de wijngaard uit te voeren. Veraison begon in de maand juli en eindigde rond 7 augustus.
 
Deze vintage 2017 had relatief weinig regen. Chateau Monbrison had het geluk om prachtig rijpe Merlot te krijgen, die werden geperst op 18 en 19 september. De Cabernet Sauvignon kwam in de week van 26 september eveneens in een prachtige kwaliteit. in 2017 blijft de kwaliteit van de wijnen ondanks een minimaal verlies aan opbrengst op het toppunt van een geweldige Margaux wijn!

Chateau Monbrison was founded in 1749. Prior to its birth, Chateau Monbrison was part of the much larger estate of Chateau dArsac. At the time, it belonged to the wealthy Segur family who were some of the most important founders of the entire Bordeaux region.
In 1821 the property was purchased by Paul Georges de Conquere de Monbrison, which is where the estate took its name from. The charming, French, country styled farmhouse predates the estate as a vineyard as it was built in the 17th century.

Chateau Monbrison was purchased by an American, Robert Davies in 1921. Robert Davies married into the Johnston family, of the well-known, Nathaniel Johnston negociants in Bordeaux who were also owners of various vineyards, including Chateau Ducru Beaucaillou over the years.

Robert Davies replanted the entire vineyard in 1939. The vineyard was replanted a second time in 1963. Chateau Monbrison has endured its up and down periods over the centuries.

If you are wondering why you never find older vintages of Monbrison, there is a reason. As you have already read, the entire vineyard was removed and replanted in 1939. From 1939-1963, the vines were leased to various negociants and chateaux, most notably Chateau Prieure-Lichine. Starting in 1964, the property began bottling and selling some of their production, waiting for the remaining leasing contracts to expire.

From 1974 on, Chateau Monbrison has bottled and sold their entire harvest. Chateau Monbrison remains the property of direct descendants of the Davies family, Laurent Vonderheyden, a descendant of the Davies family is the owner and director of Chateau Monbrison today.

The 15.5 hectare Margaux vineyard of Chateau Monbrison is planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot. This shows an increase in Cabernet Sauvignon and decrease in Merlot over the years. The terroir is sand and gravel based soils.

The vines are on average 40 years of age. But Monbrison has old vines, many of which were planted in 1963, when the majority of the vineyard was replanted. Their best parcels are located close to the chateau in Arsac.

While the vineyard holdings of Chateau Monbrison are large at 21 hectares, it’s important to note that only 15.5 hectares are situated in the Margaux appellation.
