Bettane & Desseauve

Château Bouscassé is crafted from terroirs that produce structured, balanced, and rich wines with excellent aging potential. This wine reveals itself to be complex and powerful, dominated by aromas of ripe black berries. On the palate, it is aromatic and complex, with flavors of ripe fruit and silky, generous tannins. A superbly crafted wine!

A step below Montus (and the price too), but still a sure bet. Long live the Southwest!
