Vignoble du Château de Bousval

Un rêve de terrien

Chateau de Bousval 2022

L’histoire du vignoble du Château de Bousval est née du dialogue entre Michel Verhaeghe de Naeyer, amoureux de la nature, et ses champs wallons laissés à l’abandon.

L’âme paysanne de Michel était habitée par l’envie de faire revivre ce sol improductif pour en faire profiter les nouvelles générations.

Ici, pas de vin en héritage, mais un vin en devenir, résultat de la rencontre de la jeune vigne avec le soleil belge, la faune, la flore variée et les micro-organismes du sol de Bousval.

L’ambition prioritaire s’inscrit dans une vision respectueuse du sol:
“Faire un vin de qualité dans un environnement de qualité, qui puisse être non du Bourgogne, non un vin d’Alsace ou d’Autriche, mais UN VIN DU TERROIR DE BOUSVAL”.

Témoignages

« Les amateurs se retrouvent face à un style de vin qu’ils n’ont jamais goûté, difficile à identifier. Notre terroir et notre liberté de création au chai, nous a permis de ciseler un produit exclusif. Nous en sommes fiers et nous espérons qu’il ravira nos clients les plus exigeants. »

Romain Jacob, maître de chai
Enfant Sauvage de Bousval

“A succulent, transparent and bright chardonnay with notes of fresh apples, wild herbs and baking spices. It’s medium-bodied with moderate acidity. Well rounded and seductive, with a silky texture and a mellow character.
From organically grown grapes.
No sulfites added.
Drink now. (score 91/100)”

Le Naturiste 2023 – 75cl

“Rather riper and a little oakier than the Goutte d’O bottling. More ‘serious’ than the cheaper bottling and it will doubtless last longer but arguably one does not seek concentration in a Belgian Chardonnay. Long and vibrant.
This would be a great wine to serve blind! (score 16,5+)

Jancis Robinson / JancisRobinson.com
Tout Cru 2020 – Magnum

“A well-defined and seductive chardonnay with notes of dried lemons, stone fruit and mild spices. It’s medium-bodied and balanced, with a textural mid-palate and a focused, generous finish.
From organically grown grapes.
Drink or hold. (score 91/100)“

Le Petit Gris 2022 – 75cl

Very pure, finely etched, quite delicate fruit on the lime and blossom spectrum. Lots of energy and enthusiasm bounds out the glass. Great for someone trying to avoid high-alcohol wines.

Gouttes d’O 2020 – 75cl

Franc, droit, Chardonnay dans la simplicité et la pureté, sans l’artifice de l’élevage. Cela montre ce que la Belgique est au niveau climatologie et l’avenir de son vignoble.
