Château Clos de Bouard is owned by the Bouard de Laforest family, the proprietors of the legendary Château Angélus in Saint-Emilion. Located in Montagne Saint-Emilion, the estate benefits from clay-limestone soils that produce wines of remarkable richness and depth.
The 2018 vintage is opulent and generous, reflecting the outstanding quality of this warm, ripe year in Bordeaux. Deep garnet in colour with a complex nose of dark cherry, blackberry, mocha, and toasted oak. Full-bodied on the palate with velvety tannins and a long, spiced finish.
Appellation: Montagne Saint-Emilion AOC. Grapes: Merlot dominant, Cabernet Franc. Ageing: 14–16 months in French oak. Food Pairing: Beef fillet, braised short ribs, truffle dishes. Cellaring: 8–15 years.
