Note di degustazione
The 2016 Clos de Bouärd is blended of 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium garnet-purple colored, it leaps from the glass with bold scents of wild blueberries, red currant jelly and plum preserves plus touches of truffles, mossy bark and cinnamon stick. Medium-bodied with great freshness on the palate, it has a taut, muscular core of red and black berry flavors and a chewy frame, finishing with a spicy kick.

Checking in as a blend of 85% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, made by the Coralie de Bouard (of Château Angélus), the 2016 Château Clos de Boüard has a beautiful elegance and purity as well as impressive notes of black cherries, cassis, subtle oak, and dried flowers. It’s very floral, with fine tannins and a silky, elegant finish.
The 2016 Clos de Boüard failed to match my expectations from barrel. It has a tightly wound bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and light rose petal aromas; I would have liked a little more vigor here. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannin, notes of dark chocolate and cedar wood lacing the black fruit, and just a little dryness toward the finish. I feel something may have gone awry during the barrel maturation.
Super rich and plush with ample dark plum, cocoa and graphite nuances, as well as some blueberries and cherries. The plate has a beautifully crafted bed of fine, plush and long tannins that carry effortless length and depth. Deep and fresh cabernet kick. Really impressive. 85 per cent merlot and 11 per cent cabernet franc and four per cent cabernet sauvignon. Try from 2023.
