Château Le Boscq Cru Bourgeois St. Estephe 2021

"Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Zart floral, ein Hauch von reifen Zwetschken, schwarze Kirschen, Orangenzesten. Mittlerer Körper, Brombeeren, präsente Tannine, etwas Nougat, mineralisch, wird von Flaschenreife profitieren."
89/100 Punkte

"The 2021 Le Boscq exhibits aromas of sweet berries, crème de cassis, tobacco leaf and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, lively and nicely balanced, it's a creditable effort from Dourthe."

"The 2021 Le Boscq is fabulous. Rich, heady and super-expressive, the 2021 offers exquisite aromatic intensity allied to deep, pliant fruit, all in an earthy/savory style that captures the essence of Saint-Estèphe. Best of all, Le Boscq should be a screaming value." von ANTONIO GALLONI

"The 2021 Le Boscq, now a Cru Bourgeois Exceptionel, is one of the highest gravel croupes in Saint-Estèphe. Under the Dourthe family ownership much of the vine orientation has been changed. They also increased the amount of Cabernet in the final blend. Matured in 30% new oak, this has a very intense, and you might call it 'ambitious', bouquet with blackberry, tobacco and white pepper. Touches of pressed violets emerge with time. The 6% Petit Verdot is quite expressive here. The palate is medium-bodied with dense, quite chewy tannins. A bold and quite concentrated Saint-Estèphe with a spicy, slightly herbaceous finish, this deserves 4-6 years in bottle. This is a well-crafted 2021." von NEAL MARTIN

"So viel Frische und Frucht im Bouquet von Le Boscq! Er offenbart sein Terroir durch kreidige Noten, gefolgt von dunklen Beeren und Iris-Nuancen. Am Gaumen ist der Wein kompakt und wird von feinkörnigen Tanninen unterstützt, die mit der erfrischenden Spannung der Säure harmonieren. Letztere streckt das fruchtige Finale. Ein herrlicher Wein!"
