CH HAUT BOUTISSE NV.jpg

Chateau Haut Boutisse is a private 500-case selection of casks from Chateau Palais Cardinal in southern Saint-Emilion. Here the La Fuie stream runs through and brings a band of gravel which drains the soils and gives the cabernet an intense fruitiness. The clay and chalk give the merlot its expression and Michel Rolland help to do the rest.
