Chateau Haut Boilon

History

: Maison Bouey is a family-owned wine house based in Bordeaux, France, operating as both a négociant and producer for several generations. Rather than focusing on a single château, Maison Bouey works closely with trusted growers across Bordeaux, with a philosophy centered on respecting the individuality of each terroir and faithfully expressing the character of each appellation and vintage.

The Portrait series is one of the clearest reflections of this philosophy, created with the intention of portraying each appellation and wine style as honestly and distinctly as a portrait of a person. Rather than emphasizing extravagance or excessive power, the wines focus on balance, pure fruit expression, and structure rooted in Bordeaux tradition, while remaining approachable and true to the elegance of classic Bordeaux wines.

Drawing on its long experience as a Bordeaux négociant, Maison Bouey carefully oversees every stage of production, from grape selection to blending and aging management. Through the Portrait series, the house aims to present the many faces of Bordeaux and reinterpret the value of classic Bordeaux wines for everyday enjoyment in a modern way.

About Wine

: Located in the Saint-Caprais-de-Blaye area of Bordeaux, this château is a historic family-owned producer passed down through five generations. In 1978, current owner Patrick inherited the estate and undertook a complete transformation of the vineyards, introducing environmentally friendly farming practices that helped shape the character and quality of the wines produced today.

The wine is made from grapes harvested from vines averaging around 30 years of age. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks over a period of two to four weeks to maximize fruit expression and color extraction before the wine is aged and released.
