Produced by the Bouyer family, long-established growers in Saint-Émilion, Clos de la Cure is a Merlot-led blend that reflects the appellation's renowned clay and limestone soils. The 2023 vintage is generous and approachable, offering ripe aromas of blackberry, damson and black cherry layered with hints of cedar, cocoa and sweet spice. Smooth and medium-bodied on the palate, it combines juicy dark fruit with polished tannins and subtle notes of liquorice and oak. Classic Saint-Émilion in style, it balances richness with freshness, delivering immediate drinking pleasure while retaining enough structure to reward short-term cellaring. A natural partner for roast lamb, beef dishes and mature cheeses. Familles Bouyer
