Tasting Notes

Pronounced ruby colour. Intense and complex nose with aromas of cherry, slightly liquorice blackcurrant syrup, smoke and ash notes brought by the ageing. A very long palate with a fine and tight tannin grain. Always a favourite!

Domaine Boudau

Domaine Boudau - Pierre Hourlier Wines

Brother and sister, Pierre and Veronique took over from their parents in 1993 and have carefully maximised the huge potential of their estate. Their wines are superb, and constantly gain more and more recognition from discerning wine lovers and critics. The vineyard has now more than doubled in size without diminishing the quality- quite a rare achievement. With Domaine Boudau actually based in Rivesaltes, it is of no surprise that also the famous dessert wines from this villages are also a great success.
