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.

The 2021 Bouscaut reveals aromas of plummy fruit and creamy new oak, followed by a medium to full-bodied, tangy and rather chewy palate that illustrates the limitations of extractive winemaking styles in a vintage of marginal maturity.

A blend of 61% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Malbec, the 2020 Bouscaut has a deep purple-black color and notes of warm cassis, stewed black plums and black cherry pie, followed by hints of tar, licorice and Indian spices. The medium to full-bodied palate is filled with juicy black fruits and ripe, rounded tannins, backed up by a lively backbone, finishing long and spicy.
