"Very much in the aromatic style of the 2009, with refined aromas of ripe fruit, fresh raspberry and sweet flowers, a supple texture, fine tannins and lovely freshness. Very elegant". (Le Guide Bettane & Desseauve des Vins de France 2014). A round, supple, melted and silky wine... A lot of style! - Delivery in original wooden crate for orders of 12 bottles delivered in France.

Expert opinion

Estate rated (2014 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
"Bouscaut now appeals to us thanks to the frankness of its wines. A great deal of progress has been made by Sophie and Laurent Cogombles, who have put all their heart, time and energy into turning around the viticulture and vinification of this Graves cru classé. The originality of this terroir is perfectly apparent in the latest vintages: the white wines, made from a grape variety that had previously been equally divided, have since 2011 seen an increase in Sauvignon from 50% to 60% in the blend (53% in 2012). They possess charm and substance, while the reds, marked by Merlot and a touch of Malbec in certain vintages, have gained in body and textural quality.
