2018 Château le Boscq, St Estèphe, Bordeaux

Description

Again, St Estèphe’s terroir has come up trumps in 2018. Le Boscq sits a little to the north of Calon Ségur but still enjoys the typical and formative clays of the appellation. The considerable investment from the owners, Dourthe, is evident in the purity and precision of the wine, which is fresh and spicy with notes of liquorice and coffee. Drink 2022-2032.

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe

Saint-Estèphe is the northernmost of the most important communes of the Médoc, bordering Pauillac on its southernmost border, with only a gully and stream separating it from Ch. Lafite Rothschild. The wines can appear austere in youth, but the best typically display good depth of colour, pronounced acidity and tannins in youth, and are exceptionally long-lived. At their best, they are the equal of almost any Bordeaux.
