2016 Château Clos de Boüard Montagne-St-Émilion
£29.00
“Super rich and plush with ample dark plum, cocoa and graphite nuances, as well as some blueberries and cherries. The plate has a beautifully crafted bed of fine, plush and long tannins that carry effortless length and depth. Deep and fresh cabernet kick. Really impressive. 85 per cent merlot and 11 per cent cabernet franc and four per cent cabernet sauvignon.”
94 Points, James Suckling
“Checking in as a blend of 85% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, made by the Coralie de Bouard (of Château Angélus), the 2016 Château Clos de Boüard has a beautiful elegance and purity as well as impressive notes of black cherries, cassis, subtle oak, and dried flowers. It’s very floral, with fine tannins and a silky, elegant finish.”

Product Description
Coralie de Boüard (daughter of Hubert de Boüard, owner of Angélus) has embarked on a new project in Montagne Saint-Émilion. Right from its first vintage (2016), Clos de Boüard is already a success, greedy, fleshy and devilishly seductive (85% Merlot). According to Michel Bettane and Thierry Desseauve, Clos Boüard is “a trusted address for wine lovers”.
Managed by Coralie De Boüard, who comes from a family of passionate winegrowers spanning several generations, our vineyard benefits from a privileged biodiversity and ecosystem, with a strong presence of old vines. Investments are underway to restructure the vineyard and produce top-quality wines with silky, velvety tannins, respectful of the fruit, full of elegance, delicacy and freshness, wines with the signature of the family’s know-how and expertise.
Coralie de Boüard, our committed, passionate, enthusiastic and creative winemaker, is also a proud mother who is passing on her passion and family values through Château Clos de Boüard, which is part of an ambitious family project.
