The rich, plush palate of Chateau Lamothe-Bouscaut is a blend of 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is fermented in stainless steel and concrete tanks before ageing for 12 months in oak, a third of which is new. Surprisingly approachable for its age, this Pessac-Leognan is ripe, generous, and an excellent example of a fruit-forward modern Bordeaux that is delicious to drink.
