Tasting notes
A classic Saint-Estèphe, the 2024 Château Le Boscq offers darker purple fruits, cassis, leafy herbs, violets, and that damp earth character that always seems present here. Medium-bodied, with a solid mid-palate, it has nicely integrated oak, ripe, sweet tannins, and is an impressive wine.

An austere, introverted bouquet of spices, gentian and green bell pepper prefaces the 2024 Le Boscq, a moderately weighted, firm and lively wine with chewy tannins.
Vivid plum, this has plenty of character and punch through the palate, a little squeezed overall with fresh fruits and high acidities. Last vintage with Frédéric Bonnaffous as chief winemaker at Dourthe. Final year of organic conversion, will be certified in 2025, 20% crop loss
The 2024 Le Boscq has a low-key bouquet with gravelly black fruit that comes across as just a bit predictable. The palate is medium-bodied and seems well balanced with fine tannins. Though not a powerful Saint-Estèphe, the 2024 is focused with a charming, understated finish.
