2017 Bouscaut Blanc (Pessac-Leognan)

Bouscaut has always been a personal favourite, so I am delighted to see it gracing the shelves of Uncorked again. While there is a certain richness to the texture of this wine, it is also alive with energy and very nimble on its feet. Notes of white flower, lemon curd and just a whiff of smoke. 2017 is a fabulous vintage for Bordeaux dry whites. 68% Sauvignon Blanc, 32% Semillon. Fermentation and elevage with lees stirring in 40% new oak barriques. (NT 18/10/19)

Media Reviews

Neal Martin

The 2017 Bouscaut Blanc has an attractive almond and white flower scented bouquet that gradually unfurls in the glass. The palate is fresh on the entry with a fine bead of acidity, smooth in texture with a touch of lemongrass on the finish. I am a little cautious with my score here although I am fully aware how well this shows once in bottle so it may deserve an upgrade down the line. 89-91 points
