Château Le Boscq Cru Bourgeois – Saint-Estèphe – Red – 2018:

 

CHÂTEAU LE BOSCQ Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel Saint-Estèphe

Château Le Boscq, honored as a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionnel, stands out as a jewel of the Saint-Estèphe appellation. Its unique position overlooking the Gironde Estuary, combined with a terroir of deep gravel and clay, results in a wine that beautifully balances the traditional power of the Médoc with a distinctive elegance and charm.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Deep, intense garnet color.
• Nose: Complex and inviting, offering a rich bouquet of ripe black fruits (cassis, blackberry) layered with sophisticated notes of mocha, vanilla, and a hint of licorice from oak aging.
• Palate: Full and velvety on the attack. The mouthfeel is rich, well-structured, and impeccably balanced. The higher-than-average Merlot content for Saint-Estèphe lends a luscious, charming core, while the fine, ‘powdery’ tannins provide the backbone for excellent aging. The finish is long, fresh, and persistent.

Pairing & Service

This exceptional Saint-Estèphe demands a meal of substance. We recommend serving between 61-64°F (16-18°C), ideally decanted for one hour when enjoyed young.

• Pairings: Prime Rib Roast, Grilled Filet Mignon, Hard Aged Cheeses (Aged Gouda, Cheddar).
