The final event of Bordeaux by ombiasy WineTours is always a private dinner at a worldclass château. This time, it was at Château Bouscaut, Grand Cru Classé de Graves, Appellation Pessac-Léognan, with the owner/ winemaker couple Sophie Lurton and Laurent Cogombles-Lurton.

The bus ride from the hotel was about 30 minutes. At the château, we started out with a tour of the vineyards and the winemaking facilities. 

We then moved to the living room for the apperitif.  We were joined there by Laurent.

We then proceeded to the dining room and were served a meal prepared by the private chef. 

This exclusive 4-course dinner with 6 different wines in the private living quarters with Sophie and Laurent was the perfect finale of our wine and gourmet tour.

Château Bouscaut, Grand Cru Classé de Graves, Appellation Pessac-Léognan

Château Bouscaut belongs to the 16 estates classified in the 1953 classification of Graves. 

As with Château Pape-Clément, Bouscaut is classified for its red and white wine. 

The history of Château Bouscaut goes back to the 17th century. As with other châteaux in Bordeaux ownership has changed several times. In 1979 Lucien Lurton bought Château Bouscaut. 

In 1992 his daughter Sophie Lurton inherited the estate. Since 1997 Sophie’s husband, Laurent Cogombles, has been involved in managing the Château and he is the director in charge of winemaking. 

Today Château Bouscaut has 130 acres of vineyards in the commune of Cadaujac which makes it the largest estate in the commune. This big vineyard is essentially one large parcel with an average age of 40 years for the vines. 105 acres are planted with red grapes : Cabernet-Sauvignon (50%), Merlot (42%), Malbec (7%), and Petit Verdot (1%). 25 acres are designated for the whites : 55% Sauvignon-Blanc and 45% Sémillion. Here you still find a small parcel of ungrafted Semillion vines that are over 100 years old. 

Château Bouscaut started the conversion to organic farming in 2015 with the goal of being 100% organic and certified in 2023.
