CHÂTEAU BOIS CARDINAL

Saint Emilion

CHATEAU BOIS CARDINAL, the property's second wine, is made with the same care and attention shown to our number one wine CHATEAU FLEUR CARDINALE.
Formed partly from young vines and wine presses, CHATEAU BOIS CARDINAL is aged in new and one year old barrels.
This garnet and crimson-coloured Grand Cru with a fresh fruit bouquet and a hint of undergrowth, requires two to three years to fully mature.
