Chateau Bolaire Bordeaux Superieur 2019 750 ML

Chateau Bolaire is situated on the “Isle of Macau” in a pocket well protected with a warm microclimate. The 4.5 hectares’ plantings consist of 40% Petit Verdot, 33% Merlot and 27% Cabernet Sauvignon.
Chateau Bolaire is an interesting estate in the Bordeaux Superieur appellation. The vineyards boast the largest percentage of Petit Verdot planted in all of Bordeaux at more than fifty percent! Chateau Bolaire was first established at the start of the 21st century. The property was created by the young Vincent Mulliez, after he purchased it in 2003. Vincent Mulliez was also responsible for improving the quality of wines
being produced at his Haut Medoc estate Chateau Belle-Vue along with Chateau de Gironville, which is also situated in the Haut Medoc. All three estates have earned a solid reputation for producing fine, affordable, value priced, Bordeaux wine of quality. Vincent Mulliez, who had a career as a banker before becoming a Bordeaux wine maker, passed away in 2010 at only 44 years of age. This property borders the Gironde River estuary, east of the town of Macau, and 12 miles north of central Bordeaux. The estate was created prior to 1860 and remained in the same family until its purchase in early 2003 by the owner of Chateau Belle-Vue and the Societe Civile de la Gironville who saw the enormous potential at Bolaire as he studied the soils and the vines. The soils, locally called palus, are rich in clay, one of the secrets behind the tremendous success of the 2003, the first vintage under the new ownership.
