Château BOUSCAUT 2016
Château Bouscaut is located in the Pessac-Léognan appellation of the Bordeaux wine region. It was classified as a Grand Cru Classé de Graves in 1959. The estate was originally called Haut Truchon, but was renamed Château Bouscaut in 1881. The vineyard dates back to the 1600s and was expanded with the purchase of Château Valoux in 1929. The château was razed by fire in 1962, but the cellars remained intact. The owner, Victor Place, rebuilt the château according to its original architectural plans. In 1979, Bouscaut was purchased by Lucien Lurton. He added Château Lamothe-Bouscaut and its adjoining 9-hectare vineyard to the estate. Since 1992, Bouscaut has been managed by Lucien's daughter, Sophie Lurton . Major renovations were carried out under his supervision, including the construction of a large barrel cellar specially designed for the estate's red wines. Environmentally friendly practices were implemented.
Château Bouscaut 2016 is a blend of Merlot (55%), Cabernet Sauvignon (38%) and Malbec (7%) . The wine is made in stainless steel and concrete vats, then aged in oak barrels, 40% of which are new.
