La Dame de Bouard
On the slopes near St.Emilion, in the satellite of Montagne‑Saint‑Émilion, La Dame de Bouard offers a second voice from Château Clos de Boüard. Vines over 35 years old, clay‑limestone soils and a well‑judged exposure favour a Merlot‑led blend, lifted by Cabernet Franc and a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon for edge and definition.
The style is polished rather than flashy: controlled fermentations, gentle extraction and barrique ageing to round the tannins and knit the palate. Fruit stays clear and dark, the frame remains cool and linear, and a faint graphite note hints at the right‑bank limestone signature.
Made to be approachable without losing ambition, this is a wine that translates the estate’s discipline into an immediate charm—silky, precise and quietly structured, ready to enjoy early yet capable of gaining nuance with time.La Dame de Bouard
