The Bouscaut vineyard has existed since the 17th century in the commune of Cadaujac, in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, formerly Graves, in the heart of the Bordeaux region.
The History of the Castle
Domaine Haut Truchon, the first name of Château Bouscaut, has been cultivating vines since the 17th century. Château Bouscaut was acquired in 1979 by Lucien Lurton. Today, the 4th generation is at the helm with Sophie Lurton, daughter of Lucien, to whom he gave the property in 1992. Since then, Sophie and her husband, Laurent Cogombles, have worked to extract the best from this original terroir.
The terroir of Bouscaut is essentially composed of clay and gravel soils on a limestone base. The predominantly clay-limestone component of the Bouscaut soils gives our white wines a beautiful silky texture as well as a very aromatic character in both Semillon and Sauvignon. This terroir also produces long-keeping white wines with notes of flowers, dry fruit and a smoky character. These same soils also produce excellent red wines: they are more particularly adapted to Merlot. The wines produced are very colourful and quite tannic, particularly rich and powerful.
Château Bouscaut strives to produce wines that are faithful to their terroir in the purest tradition of the Grands Crus of Bordeaux. Its predominantly clay-limestone terroir favours silky, structured white wines and deep, tannic reds.
