Château Bouscaut Château Bouscaut 2022 750ml

A fresh and juicy red with blackberry, black cherry, crushed stone and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium to full body. Round and velvety tannins. Generous.

Ripe and focused, with a steady beam of cassis and bitter plum sauce notes that stretch out nicely, laced with rose hip, iris and anise accents through the focused finish. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. Best from 2026 through 2036. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 5,800 cases made, 200 cases imported.

The 2022 Bouscaut rouge, a blend of 55% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Malbec, offers up aromas of cassis, licorice, graphite and dark berries. It is concentrated and rich with a medium to full-bodied palate and a firm, typically Cabernet grip in the finish. This a great effort for this 55-hectare estate that's entering its second year of conversion to organic farming.
