Château Boutisse
On the clay‑limestone slopes of Saint‑Christophe‑des‑Bardes in Saint‑Émilion, Château Boutisse stands out with an unusually large single block of about 25 hectares. Since 1996, Château Boutisse has been shaped around its red and brown clays over asteries limestone, a Right Bank foundation known for building both depth and tension.
Harvest is manual, with Merlot at the core, backed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and a small share of Carmenère. Depending on the parcel, fermentations can run in concrete, stainless steel or wood, allowing extraction and texture to be dialled in with precision; élevage then refines the tannin architecture without sanding off the terroir.
The style reads as Saint‑Émilion Grand Cru with definition rather than volume: structured, parcel‑driven and threaded by the cool, chalky backbone of its soils.Château Boutisse
