Clos de Bouard - Montagne-Saint-Emilion - Red - 2016 :

 

Château Clos de Boüard: A Montagne-Saint-Émilion Statement

From the expert hands of the de Boüard de Laforest family (of Château Angélus fame), Clos de Boüard is a stellar example of a premium Right Bank claret. Its clay-limestone soils in Montagne-Saint-Émilion yield a wine of remarkable depth, precision, and a luxurious, modern profile that’s ready to impress.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Deep, intense garnet-purple.
• Nose: Richly aromatic, displaying layers of concentrated dark forest fruits (blackberry, plum) alongside elegant tertiary notes of cigar box, cedar, and subtle vanilla from quality oak aging.
• Palate: Powerful yet beautifully balanced. The mouthfeel is silky and full, driven by a core of ripe fruit and framed by well-integrated, fine tannins. The finish is long, complex, and utterly satisfying, with hints of mocha and spice.

Food Pairing & Decanting

A true fine wine that benefits from decanting (allow 60 minutes) and serving at cellar temperature (17°C). It is the perfect accompaniment to classic British roasts and sophisticated game dishes.
