The Hubert de Boüard Sémilon is a masterful and rare expression of 100% Sémillon from Bordeaux, offering exceptional richness and complexity. This elegant white wine demonstrates the incredible potential of the grape when crafted by a master winemaker, resulting in a bottling with both immediate appeal and significant aging potential.
Hubert de Boüard is one of Bordeaux’s most influential figures, celebrated for elevating Château Angélus to its premier status. His personal label is a testament to his innovative spirit and deep respect for terroir, allowing him to explore unique varietal expressions outside of his family’s famous estate. Through this project, he solidifies his reputation as a visionary who expertly blends tradition with modern precision viticulture.
Visually, the Hubert de Boüard Sémilon presents a brilliant, pale gold color with straw-like reflections. The nose is wonderfully aromatic, revealing notes of ripe yellow pear, lemon curd, and chamomile, underscored by hints of toasted almond and vanilla from well-integrated oak. The palate is full-bodied and textural, balancing a creamy weight with a refreshing acidity that carries through to a long, sophisticated finish.
To best enjoy its complex character, serve the Hubert de Boüard Sémilon lightly chilled at 10-12°C (50-54°F). This wine is an excellent companion to richer dishes such as roasted chicken, seared scallops in a cream sauce, or a flavorful mushroom risotto.
