Chateau Bouscaut 2024

JEB DUNNUCK: "A blend of 58% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Malbec, the 2024 Château Bouscaut shows impressive darker berries, cassis, graphite, gravelly earth, and fireplace notes. It's medium-bodied and round on the palate, with nicely concentrated fruit and ripe tannins."

JAMES SUCKLING: "A juicy and round Pessac-Leognan with cherry and sweet-spice aromas. Light- to medium-bodied with powdery tannins. Textural with a medium finish."

ANSON: "Starts off with fragrant leafy aromatics, chalky tannins, fresh fig and cassis bud flavours with gentle spiced herbs, carefully constructed but still struggles to show the depth and concentration of Bouscaut in most vintages."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2024 Bouscaut is especially fresh and elegant this year, wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, menthol, spices and flowers mingled with gently oaky notes. Medium to full-bodied, sappy and supple, it has a juicy core of fruit, perfectly integrated new-oak notes and a bright, precise finish. This blend of 58% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Malbec is a great effort within the appellation."

VINUM: "Tiefgründig, strahlende Cassis-Frucht, florale Noten; cremiger Gaumen, satte Frucht, seidige Tannine, sehr schöne Länge. Ein ausgewogener Wein mit Schliff und Präzision."

FALSTAFF: "Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Frische rote Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Brombeerkonfit, Nuancen von Orangenzesten, einladendes Bukett. Mittlerer Körper, rotbeerige Nuancen, integrierte, reife Tannine, frisch strukturiert, ein lebendiger Speisenwein mit salzigem Nachhall."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Dark cherries, mint, and strawberries create the core this medium bodied, wine. The wine is chewy, vibrant, rustic and focused on its red plums, raspberries, and peppery spices. You should be able to enjoy this without much cellaring time. The wine blends 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 12% Malbec. Drink from 2027-2038."
