Château Clos de Boüard Montagne St Emilion Dame de Boüard 2022

Ruby red, attractive colour that reflects the ripeness of the vintage without pushing too hard. Edge of reduction on the nose, needs to open up but there is an earthy charm here, heat from the alcohol is well balanced by slate tannins, roughly hewn limestone character nothing too polished, plenty of charm, sweet ripe berry fruit.
