From the eastern part of the appellation and firmer clay soils, the deeply colored 2016 Château Boutisse (85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Carménère brought up in one-third new barrels) gives up a vibrant bouquet of blueberries, jammy black cherries, graphite, and earth. It’s rich and powerful on the palate, yet displays a beautiful elegance and purity of fruit as well as fine tannins. It’s an impressive wine.
There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act – the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

The beautiful sub-region of Saint Emilion in France's legendary Bordeaux region is regarded as the home of many of the world's finest red wines.

The 2016 Boutisse is magnificent. Striking aromatics and veins of saline minerality frame this absolutely exquisite, nuanced Saint-Émilion. Blood orange, mint, sage and floral notes add myriad shades of nuance to the red-toned fruit in a Saint-Émilion that pulses with energy and vibrancy. There is so much to like here. Alain Raynaud consults. Tasted two times.

This has a riper edge with redcurrants and some red berries and mulberries. The palate is long, plush and ripe with supple and juicy tannins. Good balance here. Try from 2022.

Soft and forward in feel, with a core of plum and cherry preserve flavors, lined with light singed vanilla notes. A cedar hint lingers longest in the end. Drink now through 2024. 5,000 cases made, 850 cases imported.
