Cellar/Tasting Notes
Mature, exotic bouquet with notes of dried leaves, underbrush, a touch of both pine and mushroom...then both a pretty balance and complexity in its mouth flavors with just a touch of earth. A fine 38 year old!

RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"
