Château Bouscaut Rouge – Pessac-Léognan – Red – 2016:

 

The BOUSCAUT ROUGE: Timeless Sophistication from Pessac-Léognan

Château Bouscaut Red, a famed Cru Classé de Graves, is a wine of profound elegance and structure, perfectly capturing the essence of the Pessac-Léognan appellation’s gravelly soils. It represents a superb marriage between the generous fruit of Merlot and the fine frame of Cabernet Sauvignon.

Sommelier Tasting Profile

• Colour: A vibrant, deep ruby hue, promising depth and maturity.
• Aroma: Richly layered, featuring classic Bordeaux notes of blackcurrant, plum, and dark cherry, interwoven with savoury hints of tobacco leaf, forest floor, and a subtle smokiness from the oak aging.
• Taste: Exhibits a powerful yet harmonious structure. The tannins are well-defined but smooth, leading a concentrated mid-palate of dark fruit and spice. The finish is lengthy and refined.

Food Pairing & Decanting

An exceptional wine for a classic British Sunday roast or a special occasion. Serve at 17°C-18°C. Decanting is highly advised, particularly for bottles less than 10 years old, to allow the wine to fully breathe and express its tertiary notes.
