Structure and power for a delightful Grand Cru...

Wine Spectator 92-94
This estate is the other property of the the Bouyer family, winemakers for seven generations in Saint-Christophe-des-Bardes. Located next to the famous Château Valandraud, its excellent terroir allows it to produce this Grand Cru 2005 Concentrated, powerful, and intense, remarkable for its fullness and suppleness. A straightforward wine with a distinct tannic structure. Produced from low yields (38–40 hl/ha) and aged for 13 months in oak barrels, 50% of which are new, the Clos de la Cure has thoroughbred genes! Spread the word...

A beautiful, vibrant ruby red with purple highlights

Nose

A lovely expression of red and black fruits, with still-imposing oak notes

Palate

Full-bodied and supple, with a lovely round texture; the high-quality tannins are still a bit firm but will mellow with time; a delicious, fruit-forward finish.
