Jamessuckling.com 91 par James Suckling le 03/02/2025 A well-made, structured and vivid red. This shows aromas of currants, dried herbs and baking spices. Medium-bodied, refined and pulpy, it has fine tannins and a flavorful finish. Try from 2026.
Decanter.com 91 par Georgina Hindle le 25/05/2023 Juicy and bright, clearly quite tannic giving a graphite, chalky and creamy texture, but a generous push of fruit from start to finish. Concentrated but well worked, clean and direct, focussed with purity. Excellent acidity really gives the freshness and life, with the tannins giving some tension and restriction right now but this feels well worked and will be nice once it has softened a bit. HVE certified.
Alexandre Ma 93-94 par Alexandre Ma le 17/05/2023 Dame de Boüard 2022 is a pinnacle achievement of the past five years, boasting a silky and soft texture thanks to the nourishment from the clay-limestone veins. Unlike previous vintages, it overcomes the issue of oxidation and presents exquisite aromas of raspberry, strawberry, juicy mulberry, and violet, like a meticulous painting with every detail clearly visible. This wine highlights the unique advantages of Montagne Saint-Émilion in the face of climate change and has limitless potential for the future.
Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux 92 par Jane Anson le 16/05/2023 Ruby red, attractive colour that reflects the ripeness of the vintage without pushing too hard. Edge of reduction on the nose, needs to open up but there is an earthy charm here, heat from the alcohol is well balanced by slate tannins, roughly hewn limestone character nothing too polished, plenty of charm, sweet ripe berry fruit.
Yvesbeck.wine 90-92 par Yves Beck le 10/05/2023 La Dame de Boüard profite de la fraîcheur des terroirs de Montagne et se révèle de manière certes parcimonieuse mais subtile ! Belle symbiose entre des nuances végétales, florales et fruitées. Le caractère friand du palais confère une touche invitante tandis que les tannins assurent les arrières. Un vin agréable, harmonieux, que l'on pourra commencer d'apprécier dans sa jeunesse !
The Wine Cellar Insider 89-91 par Jeff Leve le 05/05/2023 Forward, fresh, fruity, elegant, and with all of its sweet, ripe, red berries, and pit fruits, it is ready for consumption on release. Drink from 2024-2029.
Jamessuckling.com 91-92 par James Suckling le 19/04/2023 A fruity yet fresh red with redcurrant and orange peel character. Medium body. Light tannins and a vivid finish.
