Château Boutisse Description
Château Boutisse is Xavier Milhade’s flagship and most prestigious estate. It is relatively large for Saint-Emilion at 57 acres, planted largely with Merlot (88%) and the remainder Cabernet Sauvignon (11%) and Cabernet Franc (1%). Huge investments have been poured into the vineyards since 1996, with several parcels of vines being completely replanted.
Today the wines are made by one of the young stars of the right bank, Marc Milhade - the fourth generation of his family to make wine at Recougne. Marc’s philosophy and energy are directed primarily towards more work in the vineyard, and less intervention in the cellar.
Vinous: 94 Points
The 2022 Boutisse is classy and polished, with terrific vibrancy in its red-toned fruit. A wine of poise and finesse, Boutisse is super-impressive in 2022.
Wine Advocate: 89 Points
A blend of 92% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Carménère and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Boutisse reveals an introverted, closed bouquet of spices and oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and firm, it's concentrated with a firm, youthful tannic frame and long, robust, spicy and saline finish.
