Taste

Nose of coffee and plum with some velvety tannins on the palate. A wine full of charm and surprises brought by the vintage.

Wine Press / Awards

91 Points - International Wine Report (2018)

"The 2018 Château Haut-Boutisse Saint-Emilion Grand Cru offers inviting aromas of dark cherries and red plums which are laced with tobacco, spices and hints of wet stones which all come together in the glass. On the palate this is medium-bodied with a gorgeous silky texture and lovely overall balance through the pretty finish. This is accessible now and should continue to cellar nicely with some short-term cellaring."

About the Producer

Château Haut-Boutisse is one of the wines of Château Palais Cardinal, a family property that has existed since the middle of the 19th century. Four families have succeeded each other over time, the most recent being the Ballande family who took over the vineyard in 2018. The property is now managed by Nicolas Ballande, accompanied by his team of 6 people. Between 2008 and 2020 a lot of work was done to improve the quality of the wines: all renovated buildings, new temperature-controlled vat, purchase of new equipment at the cutting edge of technology. The cultivated area has also undergone a big change, going from 4ha in 2008 to 30ha today, including 26ha of Saint-Emilion Grand Cru and 4ha of Bordeaux. Supported by Oenoteam team and its oenologist Thomas Duclos, their wines have been HVE 3 and Terra Vitis certified since 2019.

The estate is located in the commune of Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens, south of Saint Emilion on a terroir of gravel and sand, drained by the “la Fuie” stream.

Equally we can arrange for the bottles to be collected the next time you receive a delivery from us.
