Description
The Château Bouscaut is one of the six Grand Crus Classified of Graves which counts the naming Pessac-Léognan. His vineyard extends over the left bank of the Garonne with 10 ha in white Sémillon and Sauvignon and 34 ha of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The Château Bouscaut has for 2nd wine Les Chênes de Bouscaut.
From November to July, our vines received the equivalent of a year of rain. Fortunately the summer was very sunny which enabled the grapes to mature. In September, scarce rain was welcome to endmaturation. Fresh nights and warm days concentrated aromas and phenolics. However, parts of the Bordeaux vineyard were hit by hail.Fortunately, Bouscaut was spared. At Bouscaut the clay on limestone terroir kept the water it had received and was able to redistribute it during the summer drought. At the end, the red wine shows elegant round and firm tannins. Merlots are picked between September 25 and October 12, Cabernet Sauvignon between October 8 and 16 and Malbecs on October 1.
