Chateau Malartic Lagraviere Description
The vineyards of what we know of as Chateau Bouscaut has existed since the 16th century. So you can see, the estate has a long history. During its formative years, the property was known as Haut Truchon. In 1929, the name was changed to Chateau Bouscaut.
Under the Lurton family ownership, Chateau Bouscaut has enjoyed continued improvements in the wine and in the winemaking. In 2010, they completed a renovation and modernization of the cellars. They also added to their holdings with the purchase of Chateau Lamothe Bouscaut.
On average, the vines are old, at close to 40 years of age. However, Chateau Bouscaut has some very old Semillon vines that are over 100 years of age! The vineyard is planted to a vine density of 7,200 vines per hectare. Picking varies for the red wine grapes, as the estate uses both machine harvesting and handpicking depending on the grape variety. The white wine grapes are always picked only by hand.
After receiving HVE3 certification in 2018, Chateau Bouscaut continues farming more of their vibes organically, with the goal of being 100% organic in the future.
