Château Bouscaut Blanc – Pessac-Léognan – White – 2016:

 

Château Bouscaut Blanc: The Epitome of Luxury White Bordeaux

Château Bouscaut Blanc, a distinguished Grand Cru Classé de Graves, delivers a captivating white wine experience. Sourced from a superior terroir of clay and gravel over a limestone subsoil in Pessac-Léognan, this wine is a testament to Bordeaux excellence. The classic blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon-including grapes from century-old Sémillon vines-is meticulously barrel-aged in French oak, resulting in a wine of profound complexity and structure.

Tasting Profile & Experience

This wine presents a pale yellow hue with elegant green reflections. The nose is highly expressive and intense, featuring a sophisticated melange of white stone fruit (peach, pear), bright citrus zest (grapefruit, lime), and subtle exotic undertones (pineapple, guava). The careful oak aging layers in nuances of vanilla, toasted brioche, and fresh butter. On the palate, it is full-bodied and creamy, with an unctuous, enveloping texture. A vibrant, clean acidity cuts through the richness, providing impeccable balance and leading to a remarkably long, mineral-driven finish. A truly age-worthy white.

• **Serving Temperature:** 50-54°F (10-12°C).
