Château Boutisse Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020

Château Boutisse Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020 is an exceptional wine from one of Bordeaux’s most prestigious regions. This Grand Cru classification wine is primarily crafted from Merlot, with a touch of Cabernet Franc, reflecting the terroir’s rich limestone and clay soils. The 2020 vintage was aged in oak barrels, lending complexity and structure to the wine.

The nose is an enticing bouquet of ripe dark fruit, such as blackberries and plums, paired with notes of chocolate, tobacco, and subtle hints of cedar and vanilla from the oak aging. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with a perfect balance of ripe fruit, well-integrated tannins, and refreshing acidity. It finishes long and silky, with a touch of spice and a lingering fruit-forward profile.

This wine is perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats, roasted lamb, or beef tenderloin, as well as aged cheeses. Although it is approachable now, it has the structure to age beautifully over the next decade, developing even more complexity with time. A true example of the elegance and depth that Saint-Émilion Grand Cru wines are known for.
