Tasting notes
The 2025 Le Boscq has a forward black plum, licorice and sous-bois-scented nose that just needs a little more refinement. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, fine acidity and gentle grip, but doesn't quite kick on on the finish like some of its peers. Not bad though, and it should gain complexity in barrel.

Deep purple-hued, the 2025 Château Le Boscq reveals brilliant notes of cassis, leafy herbs, violets, and damp earth. I love its overall purity, and on the palate, it's medium-bodied, with ripe tannins and nicely integrated acidity. It's a beautiful Saint-Estèphe that's going to shine right out of the gate.
A structured and chiseled red with aromas of black currants, blackberries, crushed stones and dried spices. Medium-bodied. Solid and precise finish. Classy. From organically grown grapes. 47% merlot, 47% cabernet sauvignon, 4% petit verdot and 2% cabernet franc.
The 2025 Le Boscq is plump, juicy and quite forward. Inky dark fruit, licorice, lavender, mint and chocolate are front and center. Plush contours wrap around the generous, pliant mid-palate. This opens beautifully through the finish. There's just a bit of new oak that needs to resolve.
