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.
Place
Valeyrac is the place attached to Château Bois Cardon, while Médoc names the appellation. The appellation places the wine within a defined geographic category, and the Valeyrac address gives the bottle a specific production home.
Vineyards And Cellar
Oak barrels are used for ageing. Barrel ageing gives wine gradual exposure to oxygen and can add vanilla, spice and toasted notes while softening the mouthfeel. In Château Bois Cardon, the barrel is the clearest named cellar practice.
Wines
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.
In The Glass
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.
The 2023 vintage shows soft berry fruit in the aromas and on the palate. Its tannins are balanced by the fruit, and the finish has a crisp toasted edge.
A Bottle To Understand It

Final Word
