Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Château Bouscassé is a robust, dark-fruited red built on the tannic backbone of Tannat, softened somewhat by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Expect brooding notes of blackberry, plum and liquorice with a savoury, herbal edge and firm, grippy tannins that call for hearty food. It is a wine of substance rather than delicacy, rewarding pairing with rich meats and game.
