Château de Bousval

A countryman’s dream come true

The history of the Château de Bousval vineyard was born from the dialogue between Michel Verhaeghe de Naeyer, a nature lover, and his abandoned Walloon fields.

Michel’s peasant soul was driven by the desire to revive this unproductive soil and pass it on to new generations.

Here, no inherited wine, but a wine in the making, the result of the meeting of the young vine with the Belgian sun, the fauna, the varied flora and the micro-organisms of the Bousval soil.

The main ambition is to respect the soil:
“To make a quality wine in a quality environment, which can be not a Burgundy wine, not an Alsatian or Austrian wine, but A WINE FROM THE TERROIR OF BOUSVAL”.

Testimonials

  • “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 2022 – 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)
