Tasting Notes

Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 01 Mar 22
A lighter-framed Bouscaut in reflection of the vintage conditions. There are still plenty of the espresso, tar and bitter chocolate flavours that are so signature to Bouscaut, coupled with fragrant floral and fruit notes, overall a little short on the finish but deft winemaking on display. Harvest September 21 to October 3, 40% new oak for ageing. Frost early in the season meant yields were 40% down on average.
Drinking Date: 2025 - 2040

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 29 Dec 22
The 2017 Bouscaut is medium to deep garnet-purple in color. It bursts with scents of black raspberries, juicy plums, and kirsch, plus hints of dried herbs and tree bark. Medium-bodied, the palate is soft and easygoing, delivering plenty of juicy fruit and a lifted finish.
Drinking Date: 2022 - 2030

Vinous Neal Martin - 01 Feb 20
The 2017 Bouscaut does not quite reveal the same precision and detail on the nose as some of its peers, though it does improve with aeration showing humidor and espresso. The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins and supple in texture. An understated, pliant finish renders this quite approachable. Drink over the next 5 to 7 years.
Drinking Date: 2021 - 2028

Jancis Robinson Tom Parker - 16 Sep 21
Tasted blind. Deep ruby colour. Sweet and seductive nose. Full of leather and spice. Quite plush, but still with good bones underneath. Mixed berries, cassis and a hint of earth. Quite juicy and forward, moving to a slightly pinched finish. Medium weight. (TP)

Pessac-Léognan Fine Wine

Pessac-Leognan

Pessac-Léognan, an esteemed Bordeaux appellation in the Graves region, is renowned for both red and white wines. The reds are elegant and complex, with earthy notes, blackcurrant, plum, tobacco, and graphite, supported by refined tannins and excellent ageing potential. The whites, primarily from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, are fresh, aromatic, and balanced, with citrus, tropical fruit, and floral notes, plus a creamy texture from barrel ageing. Top producers include Château Haut-Brion, Château La Mission Haut-Brion, Château Smith Haut Lafitte, and Château Pape Clément.
