Château Magdeleine Bouhou : A Family Estate
Château Magdeleine Bouhou is a 17 hectares family property within the appellation of Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux. As early as 1868, Chateau Magdeleine Bouhou was classified “Premier Cru Bourgeois” in the first editions of the famous Féret Guide. We are located in the village of Cars just to the east of the Gironde estuary and at the very heart of our appellation. The entirety of our production is dedicated to red varietals. We are especially fond of two of these red varietals: Merlot and Malbec.
The name of our Château is inspired by “Madeleine” who was my great great grand mother and generations ago was the lady of the household, as well as “Bouhar” which means “wind” in Gascon dialect. My name is Muriel. I am the 4th generation to bear the fruit of these vines and I am trying to remain faithful to the adventurous hard-working spirit of those who came before me.
Working towards organic certification
From 2009 onwards, I have worked closely with Stéphane Derenocourt, a self-taught viticulturist and winemaker. The vineyard is an ecosystem. The quality of the wine is inseparable from the health of this ecosystem. Everything begins from the soil through the vine to reach the wine
A complex and healthy ecosystem is the only way we can achieve finesse, elegance and complexity in our wine. We want to show that who we are is inextricably linked to where we are. We want to reveal our identity through the Malbec and Merlot grape, always present in our vineyard.
I am convinced that organic farming practices will allow us to more clearly emphasis our terroir and produce wines of even greater quality while respecting and working in harmony with the earth.
A diverse range of reds
In recent years we have focused a lot of effort on identifying parcels of the vineyard by the characteristics they express. The current range of 3 reds is meant to show a diversity of terroir expressed through varietal.
90% Merlot – 10% Malbec
A selection of the best parcels of Merlot planted
on limestone veins that are vinified with an old
plot of Malbec planted on the same soils. 1 year in French oak barrels, 33% new.
80% Merlot – 10% Cabernet Franc – 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
Merlot dominant with a touch of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
A lighter more fruit centric style.
Zero oak.
100% Malbec
Very atypical for the region.
We want to highlight an ever-present grape in our vineyard.
A pure expression of the varietal.
Since 2018 this wine is made with no added sulphites.
We want to offer wines with distinct profiles that reflect our terroir and our identity.
Recognition of our wine both in France and Internationally
Today, the wines of Château Magdeleine Bouhou are served in some of the best restaurants in France. Restaurants such as Bernard Loiseau Rive Gauche and Lutetia (5 stars) in Paris. Château Magdeleine Bouhou is recognized as a quality artisan producer by the “Collège Culinaire de France”.
The Château Magdeleine Bouhou wines are also beginning to be exported outside of France throughout Europe, North America and Asia. The wines are appreciated for their high quality to price ratio by professionals eager to showcase the work of independent winegrowers. Organic certification will allow all our private and professional customers to better identify the work we do in collaboration with nature through transparent labeling.
