Chateau Malecourse, Blanc
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
: This family-owned winery is located on the hillsides of the village of Puyguilhem, southwest of Bergerac, and produces wine from vines averaging 30 years of age grown on the clay-limestone soils of the Thénac area. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and concrete vats to preserve purity and balance.
Located adjacent to Bordeaux, Bergerac shares many of the same blending traditions and winemaking methods as its famous neighbor. Long regarded as one of France’s hidden wine regions, Bergerac has recently gained popularity for offering wines of outstanding quality comparable to Bordeaux, while remaining highly approachable in price.
