Château Lamothe-Bouscaut Pessac-Léognan 2018 — a structured, elegant red Bordeaux from a historic estate.
On the gravelly soils of Pessac-Léognan, Château Lamothe-Bouscaut crafts this red from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Hand-harvested and aged 18 months in French oak, the 2018 balances power with finesse.
Full-bodied, structured and elegant, with medium-high acidity and firm, refined tannins. Deep ruby, with rich cassis and dark fruit meeting cedar, tobacco and a long, satisfying finish.
