Chateau Bouscaut

Chateau Bouscaut is Grave estate classified as Premier Cru for both red and white wines. With a history dating back to the 16th century (though as Haut Truschon rather than Bouscaut), it enjoyed some success prior to the last century though the history was somewhat difficult to untangle for this period. In the period surrounding the First World War, the property had firmly established a reputation for itself, It went through some ownership changes (including a decade under American hands) finally being bought by Lucien Lurton in 1979. 40 ha of vineyard are planted with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot (with a little Malbec), whilst the remaining 7 ha are planted with a 50:50 mix of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.
