The structure and creaminess of a Montagne Saint-Émilion wine
The property
Coralie de Boüard and her husband Loïc Maillet acquired the Château Clos de Boüard in 2016, located in the satellite appellation Montagne Saint-Émilion. La Dame de Boüard is the second wine of the property.
The vineyard
Château Clos de Boüard oversees a vineyard covering an area of 30 hectares. Approximately 40 years old, the vines planted on south-facing clay-limestone slopes give birth to a great Montagne Saint-Émilion wine.
Vinification and aging
Manual harvest accompanied by a rigorous sorting. Pre-fermentation maceration at 8 -10 °C. Alcoholic fermentation. Maceration from 3 to 5 weeks. The aging lasts from 10 to 14 months in barrels (15% in new barrels and 15% in barrels of one wine).
Blend
La Dame de Boüard 2024 is the result of a blend of merlot (60%) and cabernet franc (40%).
