Heritage of Le Boscq - Saint Estèphe - 2013
Meticulous care since 1995 - rigorous adaptation of the grape varieties, restructuring of the old plots - allowed the vines to withstand the contrasting effects of the weather and finally ensure a good quality harvest. Although Château Le Boscq estate was less affected than some areas of Bordeaux - little rain in June on a late flower, but a freshness causing a considerable millerandage - the overall rainfall complicated the work in the vineyard, leaving little respite In order to maintain good sanitary conditions and to obtain optimum maturation. The harvest took place from 2 to 11 October, normal dates on the estate. The manual sorting has been optimized by the use of the new pendulum scraper, which avoids the breakage of the rattles and respects the integrity of the racks. The great terroirs are also revealed in the difficult vintages, the estate Château Le Boscq demonstrates this year in a beautiful way.
