Château Monbrison
Château Monbrison: The Elegance of a Great Margaux
A family estate rooted in an iconic terroir
Located in the prestigious Margaux appellation of the Médoc region, Château Monbrison embodies the excellence of Bordeaux’s finest wines. Since 1921, the estate has remained a family-run property, now led by Laurent Vonderheyden, whose commitment to tradition and innovation has solidified Monbrison’s reputation among top Margaux producers.
The estate benefits from deep gravel soils ideal for cultivating Bordeaux’s noble varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. This balance creates wines that are powerful yet elegant, with remarkable aromatic complexity and aging potential.
Respect for the environment is at the core of the estate’s philosophy. Sustainable viticultural practices promote biodiversity and ensure grape quality. Each plot is carefully managed to express the unique character of Margaux’s terroir.
Characterful wines blending tradition and innovation
Château Monbrison, the estate’s flagship wine, is known for its refined structure and deep notes of black fruits, violets and spices. It has excellent cellaring potential, developing aromas of leather, truffle and dark chocolate over time. It is a wine for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Bouquet de Monbrison, the second label, offers a more approachable style, perfect for earlier enjoyment. With its supple texture and red fruit aromas, it provides a fresh, accessible take on Margaux elegance without compromising quality.
Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 to 18 months of aging in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new. This process preserves the purity of the fruit while adding structure and subtle complexity.
