Château Vrai Canon Bouché

3.7/5See all 27 reviews

Located near Saint-Émilion and the estuary, Château Vrai Canon Bouché is situated on a plateau that benefits from a surprisingly high elevation, varied exposures, and beneficial winds. The château’s history began in 1953 with the Roux family. In March 2014, LFP Grands Vignobles de France acquired Château Vrai Canon Bouché, retained the existing team, and decided to continue the high-quality work already undertaken under the guidance of Stéphane DERENONCOURT. A rigorous program of grubbing-up and replanting was implemented. The old Merlot vines, which are highly expressive of the terroir, were preserved. Four hectares were uprooted and replanted with Cabernet Franc from mass selection. Currently, the estate consists of 35% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec, and 60% Merlot. The estate is situated on 13 hectares of former quarries.

Completely unique and homogeneous, the terroir of Château Rai Canon Bouché is a Gem in the heart of the appellation. The soil consists of decarbonated clay derived from limestone containing asteria, the geological foundation of Saint-Émilion’s greatest vineyards. The magic of the place is expressed through the terroir and imparts to the wine a finesse and minerality enhanced by floral notes.
