Château Haut Boutisse, Aop Saint-emilion Grand Cru, Red
The Texier family decided to follow their passion and move back to the terroir of their childhood. They rebuilt a brand-new stunning cellar and puts his trust in Michel Rolland’s cabinet of oenology to maximize its potential. He experiments with small and big barrels to give a perfect balance of oak and fruit. Pure satisfaction!
The story
The Estate is located in the commune Saint-Sulpice de Faleyrens. The property was part of the Monbousquet estate owned by the Lambège family, until the 22 hectares parcel and stunning 18th century residence became Chateau Palais Cardinal in 1947. The beautiful terroir is drained by the river that runs through it “la Fuie”. A single hectare of the total surface of Palais Cardinal is dedicated to Chateau Haut Boutisse.
