Tasting notes
Greengage, gooseberry and cut grass, green tea, lime and lime zest and lily of the valley. Wondrously intense on the attack, with lots of depth and substance over quite a narrow frame accentuating the impact and yet still giving the biting fresh fruit space in which to circle and undulate and ripple and dance. This is very dynamic and energetic in the mid-palate and represents quite a change in style (certainly when taken together with the 2023). Crystalline in its purity, this is perhaps for me the best recent vintage of Bouscaut.

Based on 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sémillon, the 2024 Château Bouscaut Blanc is a gorgeous, concentrated white offering white peach, honeyed pineapple, and brioche notes, with nicely integrated oak. Medium-bodied and beautifully textured on the palate, it shows impressive concentration and balance, with a great finish.
The 2024 Bouscaut Blanc is showing well, evoking aromas of white fruits, pear and white peach mingled with delicate notes of spring blossoms. Medium to full-bodied, round and sappy, it's fleshy with bright acids and a long, mouthwatering finish. Its elegantly chalky dry extract lends structure and should ensure a broad and versatile drinking window.
Pale gold colour, delicate, good scrape and lift, this is enjoyable and with plenty, tasty white, lovely slim, not hugely on brand for Bouscaut, and. yet this has salinity and grip, good quality 40% new oak. 39 hl/ha Owners Lurton-Cogombles family. Consultant Thomas Duclos.
