Héritage de Le Boscq
AOC Saint-Estèphe
Héritage de Le Boscq is the château’s second wine. Just like the fine wine, it draws all the benefits of an outstanding terroir, a meticulous viticultural regime and exemplary winemaking facilities, guaranteed to preserve all the character of the different wines. This is a fruity, supple wine, with delicate tannins and expressing all the qualities of its terroir. Also ready for immediate drinking.
Tasting notes
Deep and concentrated, with flashes of purple. The intense and complex nose offers black cherries, white tobacco and cocoa, lifted by a saline kiss, a reminder of its proximity to the estuary. Generous from the outset, fleshy too, the wine develops evident tannic structure, body and balance. Culminating in a lingering finish, the wine extends on a fresh note of orange peel.
The vintage
Winter is marked by rainfalls well above the thirty-year average and particularly mild temperatures, favoring an early and very even bud burst. The quite cool and rainy Spring slows down the vegetative cycle. Limited due to the cool temperatures, the sanitary pressure remains under control, thanks to the painstainking care of our team.
Rather late, flowering takes place under overall good conditions.
Temperatures finally rise in summer. The thermal amplitude of the second half of August favours the synthesis of aromas and polyphenols. Accelerated by rainfalls at the end of the month, veraison is very even. At the beginning of September, the qualitative potential is already very encouraging. The maturity is homogeneous, the tasting of the berries shows very aromatic grapes, present and elegant tannins and a beautiful balance between sugars and acidity, suggesting a harmonious and fruity vintage.
