For the first time, using the 2016 vintage, Hubert de Boüard, winegrower since 1956, co-owner of Château Angelus, a Saint-Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé A, and consultant oenologist has made a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon in Bordeaux. Alongside the family properties, La Fleur de Boüard in Lalande de Pomerol and Clos de Boüard in Montagne Saint-Emilion, Hubert de Boüard is now producing varietals labelled in his own name. “We have really worked hard as winegrowers over the past three years to make our best shot at some unique wines, involving Bordeaux varieties or not. The fruit comes from our own plots or from plots carefully selected for the excellence of their terroirs, where pruning has been especially adapted. Every plot is managed with the passage of the seasons in ways that aim to protect the surrounding ecosystems, until the decision is meticulously taken to pick the grapes at the best possible level of ripeness. We are driven by this exciting work, striving to produce the limited quantity of each wine, which will guarantee its authenticity.” The expertise of a great estate owner is applied to produce these enjoyable wines, which should soon be joined by a Syrah, a Semillon, a Merlot and a Cabernet Sauvignon.
