Château Bois Noir Bordeaux Supérieur 2018

Domaine History

Located in the heart of **Bordeaux Supérieur**, **Château Bois Noir** is part of the Denis Durantou portfolio, known for crafting precise, elegant wines across Bordeaux’s right bank. The estate reflects the same philosophy of meticulous vineyard management and winemaking that has made Durantou’s wines highly respected. Bois Noir offers a Merlot-driven blend with balance, freshness, and expressive fruit, typical of the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation.

Terroir

The vineyard is planted on clay-limestone soils, ideal for Merlot and Cabernet Franc. These soils provide natural drainage and mineral richness, enhancing the wine’s aromatic expression, balance, and structure. The terroir contributes freshness and vibrancy, highlighting the right bank’s typical profile.

Winemaking

Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures to preserve the purity of the fruit. Aging occurs in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels, allowing the wine to maintain freshness while developing subtle complexity and soft tannins.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby color. The nose opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, red cherries, and violets, followed by hints of sweet spices and light toasted notes. On the palate, the wine is smooth and well-balanced, with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a juicy, fruit-driven finish. The 2018 vintage delivers richness, vibrancy, and immediate approachability.

An expressive and well-balanced Bordeaux Supérieur—fresh, elegant, and crafted for early enjoyment with beautiful fruit purity and finesse.
