Chateau Lamothe Bouscaut is located in the village of Cadaujac and dates back to the 12th century. In 1999 it was acquired by its neighbour, Chateau Bouscaut, owned by Sophie Lurton and Laurent Cogombles. The vineyards measure a total of nine hectares and are mainly comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc.
The vines are grown on deep gravelly soils and are on average 35 years old. The vineyards are sustainably managed and pruning is carried out by hand by five vineyard workers.
This dry, full-bodied and fruity red displays a complex and medium nose. On the palate, its refreshing acidity, firm tannins, and broad texture precede a long finish. A fine core of savoury notes and black fruit.
