WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process at Château Clos de Boüard begins with a pre-fermentation cold soak at 8-10°C. Vinification is conducted parcel by parcel in traditional cement vats, with maceration lasting from three to five weeks. Malolactic fermentation occurs in wood. The wine is then aged for 10 to 24 months in barrels, with a portion of new oak (15-30%) used depending on the vintage. The winemaker is Coralie de Boüard, with consultant oenologist Hubert de Boüard de Laforest.
