Score 88-90/100 · Drink 2027-2037, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, The Wine Independent, May 2024

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Dame de Bouard is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It starts a little closed and broody, with notes of tar, damp soil, and dried herbs soon revealing a core of ripe raspberries and menthol. The medium-bodied palate is fine-grained, with well-knit freshness and bright fruit, finishing with a savory lift.

Juicy and fruity with medium body, round tannins and a crunchy finish. Straightforward.

The 2023 Dame de Bouard is quite pretty and floral but also penalized by strong vegetal notes and angular contours. It displays an almost Loire-like profile.
