Château Bouscaut Pessac-Léognan Cru Classé de Graves 2017

A lighter-framed Bouscaut in reflection of the vintage conditions. There are still plenty of the espresso, tar and bitter chocolate flavours that are so signature to Bouscaut, coupled with fragrant floral and fruit notes, overall a little short on the finish but deft winemaking on display. Harvest September 21 to October 3, 40% new oak for ageing. Frost early in the season meant yields were 40% down on average.
