Château Bouscaut Rouge – Pessac-Léognan – Red – 2016:
CHÂTEAU BOUSCAUT RED: A Graves Cru Classé of Unrivaled Elegance
Château Bouscaut Red, a distinguished Cru Classé de Graves, is the quintessential expression of Pessac-Léognan’s gravel and clay terroir. It masterfully balances the plushness of Merlot with the structural backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon, enhanced by the subtle spice of Malbec.
Expert Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Deep, intense ruby red, indicative of its concentration and aging potential.
- Nose: Seductive and complex, offering layered aromas of black fruit (cassis, dark cherry), lead pencil, cigar box, and the signature smoky/mineral note of the Graves soil.
- Palate: Full-bodied and powerful, the palate is driven by concentrated fruit and fine-grained, firm yet well-integrated tannins. The finish is persistent, sophisticated, and remarkably long.
Pairing & Service
This luxury red is built for the dinner table. Serve at 63°F-65°F (17°C-18°C). We strongly recommend decanting younger vintages for 2+ hours to allow the tannins to soften and the full aromatic complexity to unfold.
