CHÂTEAU BOUQUEYRAN

AOC Moulis

A big improvement in quality and value since this 32-acre (13-hectare) property was leased by Philippe Porcheron of nearby Château Rose Saint-Croix. Wines are matured in wood for 18 months with up to 50 percent new oak. La Fleur de Bouqueyran is a superior cuvée.

RED Lovely deep-colored, deepflavored wines of not inconsiderable style and finesse.

Cabernet Sauvignon 41%, Merlot 57%, Petit Verdot 2% k5–10 years
Second wine: Les Tourelles de Bouqueyran
