2022 Clos de Bouard

The main estate wine of Coralie de Boüard, showing polish and deoth, plenty of juice running through the palate, with notes of turmeric, clove and white pepper spice. Leans into the vintage, with the confidence that comes from fresh clay-limestone soils.

Juicy and bright, clearly quite tannic, with some graphite notes, a chalky and creamy texture, but a nice burst of fruit from start to finish. Concentrated but well handled, clean and direct, focused with purity. Excellent acidity really brings freshness and vitality, with the tannins adding some tension and restraint right now, but it feels well managed and will be very enjoyable once it has softened a little. HVE certified.

Bright and vivid with sliced lemons and plums with some currants. Medium body. Fine tannins in the finish.
