Château Monbrison 1996 is a wine from the Margaux appellation in the Bordeaux region of France. Château Monbrison is a winery known for producing high-quality wines that reflect the typical character of the Margaux appellation. Here is some key information about this wine:

The 1996 vintage in Bordeaux was an excellent one, especially for the Left Bank of the Gironde region, where the Margaux appellation is located. The weather that year was almost ideal, with a warm and dry summer and sufficient moisture in the spring. This led to optimal grape ripening and an excellent balance between sugar and acidity.

Château Monbrison 1996 was made primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, often used in Bordeaux blends. The wine exhibits the elegance and complexity typical of Margaux wines.
