La Dame de Boüard — the château's second label — pours a deep ruby red. This bombshell Bordeaux, composed of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, offers an eye-fluttering bouquet of juicy, red berry fruits tinged with spice. The medium-bodied palate is loaded with flavor — ripe strawberry, black raspberry, mulberry — accented with baking spice and a hint of crushed limestone. Those lush fruits are enveloped by seductively smooth tannins which gently guide this wine toward a long, elegant finish. Pair with grilled venison kebabs over rice or pan-seared duck breast with a cherry glaze.
92 Points — James Suckling
“A well-made, structured and vivid red. This shows aromas of currants, dried herbs and baking spices. Medium-bodied, refined and pulpy, it has fine tannins and a flavorful finish.”
