About the estate:
“Coralie de Boüard spent her childhood at Château Angélus (Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A) and worked there alongside her father in communications, marketing, and sales. In 2014, she took over management of Château La Fleur de Boüard (Lalande-de-Pomerol), then in 2016 purchased a 30-hectare vineyard in Montagne-Saint-Émilion: Château Clos de Boüard (formerly Château Tour Musset).”
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated winery (2017 guide) A winery to watch
About the estate:
“Coralie de Boüard moves to Montagne. This 30-hectare vineyard in Montagne-Saint-Emilion was purchased from the Castel family in 2016 by Coralie, the eldest daughter of Hubert de Boüard. A graduate in international business, she trained in winemaking at Angélus and La Fleur de Boüard. Le Clos de Boüard benefits from state-of-the-art facilities (stainless steel tanks and a barrel cellar). Some of the 2016 vintage was vinified entirely in barrels. This was a debut vintage made with grapes grown by the previous owners. But the quality and finesse of the 2016’s tannins already hint at a wine that will stand out.”

About the wine:
Produced by the family that owns the famous Saint-Émilion estate Château Angélus, this wine is concentrated and rich. It offers a range of flavors from both young and ripe berries, along with juicy acidity, supported by firm tannins. Enjoy this wine starting in 2023.

About the wine:
This bouquet is full of freshness, with notes of red berries, cherries, and blackcurrants. A juicy attack. The nose is well reflected on the palate. La Dame de Boüard features tight yet refined tannins that provide a solid backbone alongside the wine’s acidity. Refreshing and slightly briny finish. An inviting and fresh wine. 2022–2033
Vert de Vin
Wine rated (2020 guide) 90-91/100 (Jonathan Choukroun Chicheportiche)
About the wine:
The nose is elegant and luscious, offering a certain richness along with a lovely finesse of texture. It reveals notes of crushed strawberry and crushed blackberry, with a hint of blueberry, combined with touches of vibrant purple plum, hints of caramel and chocolate, a subtle hint of vanilla, and a barely perceptible hint of coffee. The palate is fruity, elegant, and refined, offering a lovely tart structure, tension, minerality, and a fine texture. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackcurrant, blackberry, and a hint of violet, combined with touches of redcurrant and lilac, as well as subtle hints of licorice, toast, chocolate, a barely perceptible hint of coffee (in the background), and a delicate salinity/iodine note (in the background). Good length. The tannins are elegant, precise, and finely firm. A lovely salinity on the finish/aftertaste.

About the wine:
Fresh, vibrant fruit, chocolate, and licorice blend perfectly in this medium-bodied, plum-flavored wine, which is open and already easy to drink.
