Full bottle a heavy 1,375 g. Clear glass wrapped in silver foil. Undated cask sample. 68% Sémillon, 32% Sauvignon Blanc. Aged 12 months in oak barrels (40% new). Interesting Sémillon-dominated blend that is fresher than Ferrande's and, on the basis of past vintages of Bouscaut Blanc, should age well. Waxy textured with green fruit and leafy flavours.
