An important vintage. ***** Michael Broadbent
This Saint-Estèphe property's history began in 1749, when it was acquired by Thomas Barton, the ancestor of the current owners of Châteaux Léoville and Langoa Barton. The château itself wasn't built until 1891, shortly after it was acquired by Jean Grazilhon, the grandson of the estate's steward under Thomas Barton's ownership.
Thanks to his hard work, the property was awarded its cru bourgeois status in 1932.
The 16 hectare Left Bank vineyard of Chateau Le Boscq is situated in the cooler terroirs found in the northern end of the St. Estephe appellation. The vineyard is planted to a cepage of 50% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot and 3% Cabernet Franc. The vines are on average 30 years of age. However, the property has some old vines which are more than 50 years of age. The vineyard, which is one large block of vines is planted to a vine density of 8,888 vines per hectare. The terroir is gravel and clay soils.
The one cellartracker note describes it as most enjoyable.
