Why it matters

The producer

Château Bois Cardon is a red Médoc wine made by Château Le Bourdieu at 1 route de Troussas in Valeyrac. The wine carries its own name while remaining tied to the Château Le Bourdieu address and the Médoc appellation.

Its production profile is compact. The wine is red, the appellation is Médoc, and oak barrel ageing is part of the cellar work. The available vintages show how the wine can present different fruit and texture across time.

Château Bois Cardon Médoc is a red wine presented across more than one vintage, including 2024. The range is therefore vintage based, with the same named Médoc wine carrying the bottle name from one release to the next. Oak barrel ageing remains the defining cellar detail attached to the wine.

The 1999 vintage is carmine red, with a fine, fresh bouquet marked by vanilla and a light pepper note. The palate is broad and full, with volume, tannins and length.
